How To Roast Potatoes

Here's How:

1. Choose russet potatoes, long whites, red-skinned, or new potatoes.
2. Scrub potatoes well. Halve or cut potatoes into quarters or eighths, depending on size.
3. Preheat the oven to 375°.
4. Pour about 1/3 cup of olive oil, melted butter, or other fat into a baking dish.
5. Add potatoes to the baking dish and turn to thoroughly coat with oil. Season with salt, freshly ground pepper, and other seasonings as desired.
6. Roast, turning every 10 to 15 minutes, at 375° for 1 to 1 1/2 hours, or until crisp on the outside and fork-tender on the inside.

Tips:

1. Instead of salt and pepper, try tossing the potatoes with dry ranch dressing mix before roasting.
