Roasted Potatoes

This recipe began life as Garlic Roasted Potatoes by Ina Garten. But I think only the absence of garlic merits headline status in a vegetable recipe.

Garlic powder will stick to the potatoes better, but then you won’t have any burnt garlic bits left over to snack on.

Ingredients

• 1 ½ lbs red potatoes
• 3 cloves garlic, diced, or ½ tsp. garlic powder
• 2 T. olive oil
• 1 tsp. kosher salt
• ½ tsp. black pepper
• cumin
• paprika

Directions

1. Cut the potatoes into bite-sized pieces.
2. Mix with garlic, oil, salt, and pepper.
3. Arrange in a single layer in a roasting pan.
4. Sprinkle artfully with cumin and paprika.
5. Roast 45 minutes at 400°, stirring halfway through.

Variants

Combine with roasted green beans or zucchini for the last 15 minutes.
