2 pounds of potatoes (I use a mix of 4 sweet potatoes, 2 red potatoes, 2 gold potatoes and 2 purple potatoes)
2 TBSP olive oil or coconut oil
2 TBSP honey
1 tsp lemon juice
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp Tony's seasoning
-----------------------------------------
Preheat oven to 350
Cut the potatoes into 1 inch pieces and put in a 9X13 baking dish. In a small bowl wisk together oil, honey and lemon juice. Pour mixture over potatoes and toss to coat. Sprinkle with salt and Tony's seasoning and bake uncovered for about 1 hour, stirring every 20 minutes until potatoes are soft.

Lemon Blueberry Cheesecake Bars
Shortbread Crust:
1 cup butter
2 cups flour
1/2 cup powdered sugar
Cheesecake:
16 oz. cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup sour cream
3/4 cup sugar
2 eggs
1 tsp vanilla
pinch of salt
zest of 1 lemon
juice of 1 lemon (about 2 TBSP)
1 pint of fresh blueberries
Line a 9x13 baking dish with foil, lightly grease foil. Mix butter, flour and powdered sugar together until crumbly. Press in the bottom of prepared pan. Bake for 20 minutes or until light golden brown. Let cool.
Reduce oven to 325
In the bowl of an electric mixer, combine the cream cheese and sour cream. Beat on medium speed until smooth. Add in the sugar and beat on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, 1-2 minutes. Beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Blend in the vanilla, salt, lemon zest and lemon juice. Fold in the blueberries gently with a spatula until evenly incorporated. Pour the mixture over the cooled crust and gently spread into an even layer. Bake for 35 minutes or until just set and the center no longer jiggles when the pan is tapped. Let cool to room temperature. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours before slicing and serving.
I made these for the first time yesterday and, OH MY GOODNESS, they're DELICIOUS! I was looking for a recipe to use up a lemon and some blueberries I had and this was a definite winner. The original recipe (found here on Annie's Eats) called for a graham cracker crust but when I went to make it I discovered that I had no graham crackers and no graham cracker crumbs in the house. That's when I went to plan B and substituted a shortbread crust. It was so good I'll never make these any other way. I'm planning on making them again twice this week, for 2 different potlucks.
