You can do a mustard potato instead.
They're really good if you do them in wedges so they get all crispy and fry like but they're good cubed too if you want them for shabbat.
I had an exact recipe but lost it...I think it's originally from Fresh & Easy by Leah Schapira (sp?). Anyone have it?

Delicious roast potatoes: (the secret is the boiling them first)

Peel and cut potatoes into halves and boil in water for about 5 mins. Leave a pan with a little oil in oven until hot. Drain potatoes and drop into the oil. Sprinkle salt and paprika. Roast for an hour or so.

These are divine, honestly. So much better if you boil the potatoes first. Try it and you'll see Smile

Our new favorite potato recipe is the Sticky Red Potatoes from the starters and sides made easy cookbook. Sorry I don't know the recipe off hand. For Shabbos day I just heat them up on a hot plate (if it's too saucy I take the potatoes out of the sauce and heat them up in a separate pan so no problem of heating up shabbos day).

What about the water you covered and cooked them or do I remove the water?
Also can I use normal cubed potatoes?

You won't need water if it's slow cooking in a bag in the crockpot, as long as you have the oil. Yes, you can use any potatoes. The turn brown but will be really good.

This is good even shabbos day:

Mashed potato kugel

you boil potatoes and purée with a little margarine then sauté an onion and pour into potatoes with the oil. Add salt. Then pour into baking dish and sprinkle paprika and bake for about an hour or till brown on top. It is really yummy the top gets crispy

Forgot about this one.
It's actually a chicken recipe with potatoes but I made it once without the chicken and it was a hit. So it's definitely different.

3 tablespoons olive oil
1/4 cup duck sauce.(I use apricot jam)
1 teaspoon pepper (I use less)
1 tablespoon paprika
1 tablespoon garlic powder
...
1 onion, sliced (optional)
half a green pepper, cubed (optional)

It's pretty spicy so use less pepper if you don't like heat.

My super secret awesome potato salad recipe. Flexible measurements, so you can make as much or little as you want.

Equal parts wax potatoes (not bakers) like red or Yukon Gold, and CAULIFLOWER. (That's the secret. Don't tell anyone!)

Cook and peel potatoes, chop coarse.
Steam cauliflower until very tender, and chop very fine.
Hard boiled eggs, chopped.
Salt and pepper to taste.
Fresh garlic
Fresh dill (frozen cubes work well)
A bit of mustard
Mayo
Finely minced white or red onion

For variety you can chop and add black olives, dill pickles, capers, and/or celery.

This will last for several days, if your family doesn't eat it all up at once! It never lasts long at my house, and DH and DD are super picky eaters. They both insist that they hate cauliflower, but they never mind when it's made this way. Very Happy

this is a great quick recipe.

cook some baby potatoes (I often use the ones that come in microwavable bags)
place in roasting pan.
half mash each potato. Only the tops should be mashed.
season as desired with olive oil, salt, pepper, rosemary or your favourite spices.
bake for about 25 minutes on 400/200 till golden brown.

Ive never done these for shabbos so I don't know how they come out if left on plata or in oven.

another one is puree some garlic and onion in food processor and mix with baby potatoes, oil, salt pepper and rosemary. roast for about 40 mins-1 hour on 200.

If possible would you be able to post the sticky red potato recipe?
Thanks

These are really yummy and reheat very nicely. I usually make them Thursday night and then reheat for Friday night and if there's leftovers again for Shabbos day. I usually use 10-12 medium red potatoes (not the really small baby potatoes but on the smaller side) and double the recipe.

Sticky Red Potatoes (Taken from Starters and Sides Made Easy)

Ingredients:
4-5 medium red or yukon gold potatoes, cut into wedges
1/2 tsp Chili Powder
2 Tbsp Ketchup
1/2 tsp salt, plus more to taste
2 Tbsp Oil

Sticky Sauce:
2 Tbsp Oil
2 Tbsp Ketchup
4 tsp Vinegar
2 Garlic cloves, crushed
3 Tbsp honey
1/2 tsp Chili Powder

Instructions:
1. Preheat oven to 400 F. Grease a baking sheet.
2. Add potatoes to baking sheet. Add chili powder, ketchup, salt, and oil and toss to combine. Spread potatoes in a single layer and bake for 45-55 minutes.
3. Meanwhile, prepare the sticky sauce: In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine oil, ketchup, vinegar, garlic, honey, and chili powder. Cook until well combined, 3-4 minutes.
4. Toss potatoes with sticky sauce. Return potatoes to the oven for an additional 5-10 minutes. Season with additional salt to taste.

In step 2 I usaully toss the ingredients in a covered bowl and then place on baking sheet.
For step 3 I don't bother cooking sauce over flame I just mix ingredients together and stir well and it comes out just as good (I've tried it both ways).
For step 4 I just spoon sauce over potatoes while still on baking sheet.
Enjoy!
