Roasted Baby Potatoes

ingredients

1 ½ – 2 pounds golden or red baby potatoes
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley or use dried parsley (optional ingredient)

roast it!

Preheat the oven to 400° F.
Cut the potatoes in half and put them in a bowl. To save washing a bowl, I toss everything in a skillet.
If you prefer to leave them whole, double the roasting time (below).
Toss with olive oil, garlic, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
If you tossed the ingredients in a bowl, transfer to a large enough sheet pan and spread out the potatoes in a single layer.
Roast the potatoes for 25-30 minutes (45-50 minutes if left whole) flipping them once or twice during cooking until browned and cooked through.
Remove from the oven and sprinkle with fresh or dried parsley before serving.
