Garlic Roasted Potatoes

I love mashed potatoes, but they are a lot of work.  So when I'm in a rush, this is my go-to potato recipe.   It's a nice side to a Sunday roast or meatloaf. 

Garlic Roasted Potatoes 
Recipe adapted from the Food Network

Ingredients:

• 3 pounds small red or white potatoes
• 1/4 cup good olive oil
• 1 teaspoons kosher salt
• 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
• 2 tablespoons minced garlic (6 cloves)
• A generous pinch of dried parsley

Directions:

1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
2. Cut the potatoes in half or quarters and place in a bowl with the olive oil, salt, pepper, and garlic; toss until the potatoes are well coated. Transfer the potatoes to a sheet pan and spread out into 1 layer. Roast in the oven for 45 minutes to 1 hour or until browned and crisp. Flip twice with a spatula during cooking in order to ensure even browning.
3. Remove the potatoes from the oven, toss with parsley, season to taste, and serve hot.
