Baked not fried, the humble potato gets a delicious (and healthy!) makeover for a flavour lovers dream! Sweet, salty and a little bit of spice, these kettle corn baked potatoes are paleo, gluten free, vegan, dairy free and are the perfect side for your picnic and are even delicious grilled!
I professed my love for potatoes before.
I professed my love for potatoes by eating a kilo of them in a day.
I professed my love for potatoes by eating 7 kilos in 7 days.
I also recently professed my love for kettle corn by combining them in these no bake Kettle Corn Granola Bars.
After the wholeArman challenge, several readers asked whether I was sick of potatoes. That, my friends, would never happen. Potatoes are the one vegetable you will always find in my pantry. Similar to eggs, when there are less than 4 left, it may or may not result in borderline emergency status.
Australia prides itself on it’s variety of ‘white’ potatoes it has available- I’m not choosy. As long as it’s not sweet or not low carb potatoes (Seriously. Remember that post?) I’m a happy camper!
My go to method of potatoes at night is basic- coat them in garlic olive oil, salt and pepper and chuck in the oven. During food prep, I usually would make a cold version usually in the form of a salad like this one. However, it was time to try and embrace the sweet and salty flavour combination I love- and who says it can’t be used with actual baked potatoes as opposed to potato chips or popcorn? I mentioned on Monday last week of a potato recipe I served up at brunch and here is numero uno!
With a short ingredient list and barely any prep required- impress your friends like I did with the most delicious twist on the humble potato- I’ve had them for dinner, served them for breakfast with eggs and even found a way to merge the two- more on that to come! Do yourselves a favour and give your potatoes this makeover.
It’s a party of the senses- sweet, salty, savoury, sexy.
Wait, what?

For optimum crispy potatoes, serve potatoes the same day as baked. You can make them ahead of time, but ensure you reheat them in the oven.
Leftover potatoes work really well in this salad.

This is great! The last crazy thing I tried with potatoes was melted peanut butter and jelly. No joke it was a party in my mouth! I love the sweet/savory kind of thing. I always pair my sweet potatoes with a salty dip or sauce as well. Perfect pairings!
Wow, potatoes with peanut butter and jelly sounds delicious! I wish I liked sweet potatoes more.
YUM!!! Chris said something the other day about having friends over next weekend and grilling steaks – pretty sure these potatoes will go perfectly!!!
YES!!!! Please try it out, Kim- it’s delicious with MEAT!
HOLY YUMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!
Thank you, Jody!
I LOVE potatoes. Now, I’m craving these! Second breakfast?? 😉
People who don’t have second breakfasts aren’t normal. Right? Right 😉
Oh my gosh, this looks like heaven on a plate. Thank you, thank you!! From one potato lover to another….
Thank you Evelyn! You’re a potato fan too? I knew we’d be great friends! 🙂
I’m off potatoes as am doing GAPS, but these sure do look yummy 🙂 #recipeoftheweek
Thank you! 🙂
I have been sitting here for 5 minutes trying to figure out what I’m missing…why would you coat he pan with oil and flour and then coat the potatoes. I make several kinds of potatoes in the oven…then it hit me! So that they don’t stick! For the same reason that I lay parchment paper in the pan! Genius!!! I’ve never heard of this! Parchment lends itself to better clean up, but I only have it for about half the time….I’m gonna try this out today! Amazing! I can’t wait to try the recipe!
YES! Haha, Melissa, it took me several tries to come to that realisation!
Hope you enjoy the recipe 🙂
Oh my GOSH this is GENIUS!! Totally making these…maybe today…
Cheers, Meg! I must admit, whenever I check out your instagram, I feel like slapping something. That’s pretty genius. 😉
Recipe sounds delicious, must try it! #recipeoftheweek
