2 Tablespoons Dijon mustard
3/4 Teaspoon Paprika
1/4 Teaspoon Dried thyme

NOTES : Coating the potatoes in Dijon mustard and a small amount of olive oil helps make them crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.

Darn Good Chocolate Cake

Serving Size: 16

Amount Measure Ingredient / Preparation Method
1 Pkg Dark chocolate cake mix
3-7/8 Ounces Chocolate pudding, instant
4 Large Eggs
1/2 Cup Warm water
1 Cup Sour cream
1/4 Cup Vegetable oil
1-1/2 Cups Semi-sweet chocolate chips

Place a rack in the center of the oven and preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
Lightly mist a 12-C Bundt pan w/ Pam, then dust w/ flour. Shake out the excess flour. Set the pan aside.

Place the cake mix, pudding mix, eggs, sour cream, warm water, and oil in a large mixing bowl. Blend w/ an electric mixer on low speed for 1 minute.
Stop the machine and scrape down the sides of the bowl w/ a rubber spatula.
Increase the mixer speed to medium and beat for 2 minutes more, scraping the sides down again if needed. The batter should look thick and well-blended.
Fold in the chocolate chips, making sure they are well distributed throughout the batter. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and place it in the oven.

Bake the cake until it springs back when lightly pressed with your finger and starts to pull away from the sides of the pan 45-50 minutes. Remove the pan from the oven and place it on a wire rack to cool for 20 minutes. Run a long sharp knife round the edge of the cake and invert it on a rack to cool completely for about 30 minutes.

Store the cake, covered in plastic wrap, at room temperature, for up to 4 days or in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. Or freeze it, wrapped in aluminum foil, for up to 6 months. Thaw the cake overnight in the refrigerator before serving.
