Roasted potatoes are so simple to prepare that I almost felt guilty posting about it. I, like most people I’m sure, know the concept – use potatoes, olive oil, salt, and pepper. However, how much olive oil do I use? What temperature do I set my oven? How long do I cook them for?

She gave me all the answers I needed and I in turn hope I can help you. If you are looking …

It’s not the worst thing in the world to eat for breakfast, right? 😉 My husband tells me that I’m basically eating a cupcake without frosting. Oooh, frosting on muffins. He may be on to something.
