Semolina is the base for cooked breakfast cereal (Malt-o Meal, Cream of Wheat), and is also used in making pudding and pasta. It’s wheat. Polenta is made from cornmeal. While cornmeal could be used in this recipe, I agree with you that it will be much better with polenta. I’ll be making these potatoes with my Mother’s Day steaks tomorrow. They look divine and I bet they’ll taste great too!

Polenta is made from cornmeal – never from semolina !!!
Common dishes made of semolina are couscous, semolina porridge and certain middle-eastern sweets like Basbousa…

It’s a wheat “flour.” Used in polenta and a lot of Italian bread products. You can find it either in the Italian, baking or organic section of the store.

I would be inclined to say yes, but cornmeal is a lot coarser than semolina. If you try it, please let me know if it works. Semolina is more powdery so it covers more area.
