Scrub several potatoes with a potato brush, peel them or not, but I would highly recommend NOT. The peel is where the many healthy properties lie
Cut them into bite size portions or you could cut them in half length-wise and then cut the halves into quarters. Rinse them with cold water
Place the potato chunks or 1/8s in a large bowl and sprinkle with salt, pepper Italian Seasoning, Basil and Oregano. The seasonings will adhere to the slightly wet potatoes
Spread the potato chunks onto a parchment paper lined cookie sheet
Bake at 425º for about 30 to 45 minutes or until done and browned
Watch so they don’t burn. The higher temperature will crisp them up and you’ll wonder how you ever lived without these
Now, here’s another wonderful variation: Instead of the Italian seasonings, prepare a mixture of garlic, fresh mint and a little water. I used to use oil in this mixture too, but the water works just as well. This was one of my Dad’s favorite ways to make potatoes. Coat the potatoes in a bowl with this mixture and bake as above
Another way I learned from my Dad was to par bake the potatoes. When nearly done, pour your favorite bar-b-q sauce over all and continue roasting until the potatoes have absorbed the sauce. These are just the best
