Roast 'em and Toss 'em Potatoes

By

The original recipe for these potatoes is on the MomsMenu with Cindy blog. I made a few changes to the recipe, partly because of personal tastes (some people in this house are anti-Parmesan; others are anti-onion), partly because of what I had in the house, and partly because I was cooking in a roaster oven. You can just use a regular oven - same temperature. So here it is, as I made them. They were good! Definitely a keeper!

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes, unpeeled, cut into wedges or cubes
  • 1 Tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/8 teaspoon coarsely ground pepper
  • 1/8 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
  • 1 teaspoon thyme
  • 1 teaspoon tarragon
  • 1 teaspoon rosemary
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt

Preparation

Step 1

Heat the oven to 400 degrees F.

Put the potatoes in a mixing bowl and add remaining ingredients. Toss to coat potatoes.

Spread on a baking sheet. Bake, stirring several times, until potatoes are tender and brown, 35 to 40 minutes.
