Oven Roasted Red Potatoes

My family loves potatoes and sometimes we get into a rut of having either baked potatoes or mashed.  Sometimes it is nice to change it up a bit.  So I found a simple and easy way to make perfectly roasted red potatoes.  The bonus, it requires very few ingredients and even less time.  Hope you enjoy!

Oven Roasted Red Potatoes

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.

Wash the red potatoes.

Quarter the potatoes.

Place on a large cookie sheet and coat with the olive oil, salt and pepper.  Toss.

Place into the oven and cook for 20 minutes.  Open the oven and stir the potatoes.  Continue to cook for 20 minutes.

At this point they might be done.  It all depends on the size of your potatoes.  If you have extra large potatoes it may take an extra 10 minutes.  You can easily check doneness with a fork.

Place the potatoes into a serving bowl and enjoy!
