Italian Baked Potatos

This is one of my yummy veggie side dishes. I get the small "White Rose" potatoes. They are about 1 calorie per gram of weight, 0 fat, and 1g of protein per 40 grams of weight. Somehow I always pick out the size that is about 120-130 grams, so they are generally 130 calories/0g fat/3g protein per potato. I like these crunchy, so they take some time to cook. I start them right when I get home and then cook my chicken when these have about 10 minutes left on the timer.

Italian Baked Potatoes
1-2 small potatoes
dry Italian dressing mix

Preheat oven to 400. Wash and dice potatoes into small cubes and put them in a large bowl. Sprinkle about 1/3rd of a packet of dry Italian dressing mix over them and toss to coat. Spray a baking dish with fat free cooking spray and arrange the potatoes in a single layer in the dish. Bake for 20-50 minutes depending on your consistency preference. If you want them soft, 20 minutes will do it. If you want them more like french fries, 40-50 minutes is better. 50 minutes is about the max before they just end up burnt. 1 potato = 1 serving with: 130 calories/0g fat/3g protein.
