Roasted Potatoes

This is a easy variation to plain potatoes.  I usually use red potatoes, but you could use white, yellow or fingerling potatoes.   I would not use russet potatoes because they don't hold up well to roasting.  You could also add more flavor by adding fresh herbs such as thyme, dill, or chives.  These potatoes will compliment any dish.

Pre Heat oven to 425 degrees
Baking sheet

Ingredients

3 medium Red potatoes
2-4 Tb extra virgin olive oil
1 Tb salt
1 tsp pepper
1 Tb chopped fresh parsley for garnish

Wash and dry potatoes.  Cut in half  and then quarter each half.  Place potatoes on a baking sheet. Pour enough olive oil to lightly coat potatoes, sprinkle with salt and pepper and toss well  Bake for 25-35 minutes or until potatoes are tender. Transfer to a serving plate and garnish with parsley.  Serve hot

Serves 4
