Snack Mix Roasted Potatoes


If you've ever read my post on homemade Chex Mix, you know that I have a very specific method for eating it.

My friend Natalie was the best person for me to share a pre-made bag with because I only like the Chex & pretzels, and her favorite was the bagel chips & breadsticks.

So when my mom started making her own Chex Mix, I saw no reason for her to put in those silly little pale breadsticks & disgusting rye bagel chips.

And seriously - wheat Chex?  Please.

For the birds, I say.

But she flat out refused, claiming plain corn Chex & pretzels was far too boring.

There had to be variety.

So.... I just continued to pick out the pieces I liked, and left whatever I didn't want.

(I used to do this with other things too.  I was always getting yelled at for picking out all the M&Ms and raisins from a jar of Costco trail mix she kept in our kitchen).

Then my birthday came around.

My mother asked, "What kind of cake do you want?"

"Whatever - something chocolate.  But I also want Chex mix - with only corn Chex.  Not even pretzels."

She shook her head.  "I wouldn't exactly call that a mix, but hey - it's your birthday."

Yep.  Chex 'mix' with just corn Chex.  She and my stepdad never let me live that one down.  (Mr. Vittles eventually joined in on the fun as well, as it became a birthday tradition).

But I ate the entire batch by myself, and loved every second of it.

Only recently did it occur to me that the seasonings of Chex mix would probably transfer well to roasted potatoes.


But these aren't technically a 'mix' either .... I guess if you're feeling crazy you can throw in some bagel chips?

Snack Mix Roasted Potatoes

  • 1 1/2 lb. russet or yukon gold potatoes, skinned & cut in 1" dice
  • 2 T. canola oil
  • 1 T. Worcestershire sauce
  • 1/2 t. kosher salt
  • 1/2 t. onion powder
  • 1 t. garlic powder
  • 1/4 t. smoked paprika (or regular, is fine)
  • 1/2 t. seasoned salt
  • dash cayenne pepper

Preheat oven 400 degrees.

Combine oil with Worcestershire and spices in a small bowl or measuring cup.  Skin & dice potatoes and place in large bowl.  Cover with oil mixture, and toss to coat.

Spread out potatoes on a baking sheet greased with nonstick spray, and bake in preheated oven 45 minutes to one hour, stirring carefully with a heatproof rubber spatula every 15 minutes until done.  Adjust seasonings to taste, and serve immediately.  Serves 3-4

    (I pick out the M&Ms and almonds from the Costco mix - it doesn't go over well with my husband)

  8. I like rice chex only, although I do make it with a mixture, I usually end-up just eating the rice chex and pretzels :) BTW, I love your zucchini chip idea and will be trying them soon!

  9. So nice to know I'm not the only one who picks out just the good-stuff in chex mix. I like to make my own with crispex ONLY and up the spices I like best. It ends up with some pieces that are actually a little chewy and OH SO DELICIOUS.

  37. We have talked with one of the Oily skin person Rosy. "My skin was so oily since childhood and it was really irritating for me. I can't be confident even while i go to party or else to a function, everyone stares at my oil skin and i have to feel the shy. This is where I came across the https://yugloskin.com  from the Yuglo skin where the https://yugloskin.com/products/face-oil  is one of the best products which makes my face very smooth, free from oil and looks so great. Since then I have become an evid fan of the natural skin care brand. Especially the Natural Ingredients makes the brand so unique because these days we are seeing so many chemicals used products. Even though, their results might be faster but in the long run, we are going to have issues while using such kind of brands. Hence I recommend Yuglo for any women who is looking for organic and natural products for their hair, face and skin".

    While when we got the opportunity to speak with one of the dry skin women Ily. Ily said "My skin was dry all the time and it is really frustrating experience for me, especially, I stay in the cold regions and when there is heavy cold, you can clear see the layers coming out from the lips and skin due to dryness, that is where i tried the https://yugloskin.com/products/lip-mask  from the Yuglo. I apply it at thee night time before i sleep and while i woke up in the morning, i am going to have a great and nice experience, My skin feels better and i also tried the  https://yugloskin.com/products/skincare-face-masks  from this organic brand. I applied it for a month and you don't and you don't believe me the results are fantastic. I am using both their Peach Lips mask and Face mask for the skin since past 2 years and i would love to try their new products as well in the future. Thanks to the yuglo skin for bringing such awesome products and great thing is they are available at an affordable pricing. It merely costs me $25 per month to try their products and have a healthy skin routine.

    Types of Products to improve Skin Care

    When it comes to the types of the products, there are so many people who are trying the natural face masks by seeing the youtube videos and improving their skin care. There are majorly three types of skins, one is oily, the other is dry and the third one is mixed. Especially those with Oily skin always suffer due to their face looks quiet odd due to the excess oil on their face and they feel so bad about it. 
    This is where the Organic products of skin care has come in handy for these kind of people. While people who are having a mixed dry and oily skin, not had to suffer much but still they can improve their skin tone using the Lip mask product from amazon. This product is bought by more than 100000+ happy customers and has an average rating of 4.5 with more than 5500 reviews. 

    They have products which are related to hair, face and lips. Especially their lip sleeping mask is the best seller and next comes, the face mask which is also quiet good seller for them. They also have face oil and new vanilla flavor for the lips, they want to become one of the top skin care brands in the future by solving all the issues related to the skin care. They also have the face moisturizer which is one of the best among the face moisturizers compared to others as those comes with the natural ingredients which everyone will love than compared to unnatural and chemical ingredients.
