Roasted Red Potatoes with Rosemary and Garlic
Description
These potatoes go great with almost any meat you would think to pair them with. They are extremely simple to prepare and the longest part is the cooking time. Set them in the oven and basically forget about them for about 20-25 minutes. This allows you plenty of time to prepare the rest of your meal and give those items more attention. Potatoes will come out crispy on the outside and perfectly cooked on the inside. Yummy!

8 small red potatoes (washed and dried)
1 Tablespoon of olive oil
1 Tablespoon of chopped fresh rosemary (substitute dried if you don't have fresh)
½ Teaspoon of salt
¼ Teaspoon black pepper
1 clove of fresh garlic, crushed and chopped
Preparation
Preheat your oven to 400 degrees. Cut potatoes in half, or quarters for larger ones. Leave the skin on. In a large bowl, combine potatoes and olive oil. Mix until all the potatoes are fully coated. Sprinkle on the salt, pepper, garlic, and rosemary. Mix well. Spray a large baking dish with Pam. Pour potatoes into the dish. By hand, turn each potato so that the cut end is facing down on the bottom of the pan. You do not want the skin to touch the bottom of the pan because they will burn and stick.
Place into the oven uncovered. Set your timer so that you do not overcook or forget about them. Check after about 20 minutes to see if they are done. You can turn over a potato and see if the flesh part is a nice golden brown, then poke the middle of the potato to see if it is fully cooked. The potato should flake easily and that is how you know it is done. Remove from the oven and immediately scoop the potatoes from the pan with a spatula. Some may stick a little so be gentle, you don't want to turn them into mashed potatoes! Now you are ready to serve!

As soon as the temperatures cool down, I will bake some of your red potatoes. Looks wonderful.
