Roasted Rosemary Garlic Potatoes I once helped a caterer friend when she found herself with too many irons in the fire... and she graciously gave me this recipe. Every time I've made it for dinner guests, they've always been drawn to the wonderful aroma that occurs when rosemary and garlic simmer in olive oil.

Preheat oven to 350°F.

Pour enough olive oil to coat potatoes in a cast iron skillet -- about 1 tablespoon per 1 to 1 1/2 cups of potatoes.

Use the flat edge of a chef's knife to smash it into large pieces. Add the rosemary and garlic to the skillet and place in the oven until the oil sizzles and the garlic starts to turn golden brown.

Scrub the potatoes and cut into large bite-size pieces.

Add the potatoes, toss well in the oil and return the skillet to the oven.

Cook for 55-60 minutes turning once or twice with a spatula.

Tips and suggestions:

Substitute italian herbs for the rosemary.

Add sliced onion for extra flavor.

Leave the skins on the potatoes unless it's absolutely necessary to remove them.

Add sliced cherry peppers or red pepper flakes.

Toss with a bit of grated parmesan just before serving.

If you find that the rest of your meal is delayed, decrease the oven temperature and leave the potatoes in the oven. You can leave them in the oven for an additional 20 minutes without burning them.
