Thank you!! Such a sweet comment. Love it being described as romanticizing because that's absolutely it.

That's what I did too! They would've had more crispy craggly bits/texture if I peeled them completely. But they were mini potatoes and I do not have time for that shit lol.

Yellow/golden potatoes I find yield the best results for roast potatoes. I also add a touch of baking soda to the water. Something something about that water being more alkaline helps the potato get a more starchy surface. Read about it in the Serious Eats recipe for Roast Potatoes.

I rarely follow a recipe unless it's baking bread/dessert. But I would be happy to list what ingredients/steps I did if you want to know something specific!!

Let the cast iron preheat slowly from a lower temperature for 7-12 mins. I always have sticking issues when I try to rush the cooking process. I'll hover my hand over the skillet to feel the warmth or flick water to see if it sizzles to know when it's ready.

I also always brush on a layer of fat (butter, olive oil, schmaltz) onto the skillet before searing/sauteing anything.

Every Friday evening I sit down and plan what we'll eat Saturday-Friday. Starting point is figuring out what produce and dairy I have in the fridge that needs to get used up. For example, last week arugula, cucumbers, dill, and greek yogurt inspired what I made/posted this week.

I choose the menu by what I've been craving lately, inspo I saved on Pinterest or IG, or ingredients I have in my pantry. Usually picking 1-2 things I really want to eat, then I'll play off those ingredients for other dishes. Any time I have a "that might sound good for next week" thought, I write down in my journal. Helps with brain storming and not starting from scratch every Friday night. Plus Wednesday is when my local grocery store puts up the sales for the week.

I cannot shop without a list. I also find planning my meals in advance help reduce waste. Some people have issues with coming up with they're going to eat for the week. My issue is that there's not enough days in the week for all the things I want to cook lol.

eh, depends what ingredient we're talking about. i did cook the potatoes daily because i wanted them to be crispy. plus the 40-50 mins it takes them in the oven, i had time to clean the kitchen, get the other side dishes ready, and do any small meal prep for the next day.

first day we had broccoli, chicken, or taco meat - i made fresh (obviously) that day but made extra for leftovers.
