New lake, cool water, and a clear blue sky – that pretty much sums up our past weekend trip.

As usual, I am inviting you to travel and see the new places with us.

Let’s go…

Yes, we found a new lake on our trip. Not that we were the first people to find it. On the contrary, it seemed that we were the very last people in the whole wide world who’d managed to make it there. But we were happy about our discovery anyway.

The lake is called Lake Neusiedl and it is situated in Austria. It seems we have focused on exploring Austria this summer.

Anyhow, we’d had no idea that that lake existed. And we’d had even less idea that it was situated so near – within just about 90 minutes drive from where we live.

What a great surprise!

People enjoyed swimming, sailing, surfing, or just sitting in a beach bar and chatting over cool white wine.

Aaaah, sweet summer.

Parmesan roasted potatoes recipe with step by step photos

There’s one very important fact I have not shared with you yet.

You know what?

I love potatoes.

See? I told you it was important. Cause it was.

Not only do I love potatoes but I also am a very avid potato recipes collector. Yeah, that’s exactly who I am. I needed to let you know.

I’ve already gathered many potato related recipes and I am definitely going to share many of them with you. Just like right now.

I’ve discovered this gem of a recipe over at sweet Gaby’s blog, and I will forever be thankful for that moment.

These potatoes have cheese, these potatoes have garlic, these potatoes are simply good…

The preparation is very simple too.

1. First, preheat the oven to 400 °F (200 °C).

2. Cube the potatoes.

The sides of the potato cubes should be about 3/4 inch long (2 cm).

And the cubes are definitely not going to be even, but don’t let that bother you.
