With crackled skins and soft interiors, these roasted potatoes are a traditional side dish for dinner meat entrees but taste just as good served as a hot or cold salad at lunch. Fresh herbs like rosemary and thyme give the spuds a ton of flavor

Ingredients

  • 2 pounds red or white small potatoes, scrubbed and dried

  • 4 tablespoons olive oil

  • Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper

  • Fresh herbs, such as oregano, thyme, and rosemary, finely chopped

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees. On a baking sheet, toss potatoes with olive oil, salt, pepper, and herbs. Roast until tender, turning occasionally, about 35 minutes. Remove from oven. Serve potatoes hot or cold.
