Roasted Red Potatoes

Last Tuesday I made turkey meatloaf, which I already have posted (see back to September's postings).  Instead of mashed potatoes, I made my roasted red potatoes, a classic favorite in our house. They are super simple to make, healthy and delicious.

Here's the recipe:

Ingredients
5-6 medium red potatoes, rinsed (do not peel) and cut into halves and then each half cut into 4 equal pieces (should end up with around 40 potato pieces)
About 1-3 tbsp of olive oil
1-2 tsp garlic salt
About 1 - 1 1/2 tsp of fresh rosemary (or dried rosemary, or another fragrant herb of your choice)

Directions
1.  Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
2.  Place cut potato pieces onto a clay baking dish (or a cookie sheet lined with foil).
3.  Drizzle oil over potatoes evenly (you do not want the potatoes soaking in oil, it's a light drizzle).
4.  Sprinkle garlic salt and herbs over potatoes. 
5.  Bake for 30 minutes and then check on potatoes.  Potatoes should be starting to brown.  Stir potatoes and continue cooking for an additional 15 minutes or until potatoes are soft.
6.  Serve warm!

Side Notes:
1.  These potatoes go great with meatloaf, baked chicken, egg dishes, grilled fish, steak, pork chops... basically anything.

I hope you enjoy this great potato side dish as much as we do! :-)
