About the Recipe
Roasted potatoes go great with so many different entrees including roasted chicken and turkey, or steaks and roast beef.
If you cook them in a cast-iron skillet you can serve in it also. This makes presentation time much easier.
Variations
You can simply cook these potatoes with salt and pepper, but you can change it up with a teaspoon of Thyme, Oregano, or Rosemary. You can also combine those herbs for a bouquet of flavor.
