Roasted Potatoes

A simple side dish to add to dinner. This is more of a method than a recipe. Clean and chop the potatoes. Toss with olive oil, kosher salt and fresh ground pepper. Bake them at 400 degrees for about 45 minutes or so, depending on how big you cut the potatoes.

You can use red potatoes, yukon golds or any other kind. Peel them or leave the peels on. Chop them bite size or cut them in wedges or sticks. Toss them with ground red pepper, red pepper flakes, parsley, rosemary, tarrogon, garlic…anything that catches your imagination and will complement the rest of the meal.
