Roasted Red Potatoes

Roasted Red Potatoes

Roasted little red potatoes have to be one of the most often prepared snack that my teens make on their own. It would be a close race between red potatoes and sweet potato wedges. The recipe is simple enough and almost fool proof…Just make sure to allow plenty of room on your baking dish so each bite can crisp up and absorb the seasonings. When we are enjoying these as just a snack, we like to sprinkle crushed rosemary or red pepper flakes on them as soon as they come out of the oven.

 

Ingredients:

• 1 bag (about 2 pounds) Red Potatoes
• 4 Tablespoon Oil (Grape seed, Olive, Coconut)
• Salt and Pepper

 

Directions:

• Wash – as in really scrub the potatoes to remove the dirt and grime
• Cut potatoes in half or quarters – you want bite size pieces
• Place cut potatoes into large bowl and liberally salt and pepper
• Drizzle oil over potatoes, toss well to coat all pieces
• Spread potatoes out on a baking pan in a single layer (use two pans to prevent crowding)
• Bake at 400 degrees for 35-45 minutes – until potatoes are brown and crispy

Serve as side dish with just about anything or allow to cool and use in other recipes such as a potato salad or soup.
