These are my favorite roasted potatoes, I make them all the time. They are tender, delicious and pretty too.
You can microwave the potatoes in their jackets to reduce cooking time if you wish. No need to peel them as the skin contains nutrients and adds to the visual appeal of this dish. There really is nothing like oven roasted potatoes to compliment a grilled steak dinner or a roast chicken but these potatoes go well with just about anything.
For variety try using some red potatoes such as Yukons. All going well your potatoes will be soft in the middle, crispy on the outside and your kitchen will smell wonderful.
