Recipe: Oven Roasted Potatoes

Carbs and starches tend to be the best part of meals.... and the most unhealthy part of them too. These roasted potatoes are quick and easy to make and even tasty! Plus, you can add or take away the number of potatoes you use depending on how many people you are feeding.

Oven Roasted Potatoes

Ingredients:
2 large yellow Potatoes, washed, skins left on
Extra Virgin Olive Oil or your preferred cooking oil
2-3 tablespoons of Italian Seasoning Blend
1 tablespoon of Garlic Powder
Fresh Cracked Black Pepper


Directions:

Preheat your oven to 400 degrees. Dice the potatoes into small, bite sized pieces that are all relatively even in size. Spray a baking sheet with non-stick cooking spray (you can line the baking sheet with aluminum foil first before spraying for a quick clean up). Put diced potatoes onto the baking sheet. Drizzle with cooking oil. Top with italian seasoning blend, garlic powder, and some fresh cracked black pepper. Using your hands or a spoon, toss the potatoes together so everything is incorporated and coated with the oil and seasonings. Spread out the potatoes on the baking sheet so that they evenly disbursed.

Place on the lower rack in the oven and cook for 20 minutes. Take them out and gently toss them, and again, evenly disburse them. Place back in the oven on the higher rack for another 10-15 minutes until they are browned and cooked through.

* A great way to check potatoes is to stick them with a fork. If they go in easily without force and come out easily without force, they are usually done. Also, you could "attempt" to smash one with a fork. If they smash easily, they are done. * Take out of the oven and serve!
