Here's a recipe that's easy and delicious and you can substitute, tweak, add or subtract to your taste. As I write this, they are broiling in my toaster oven and filling the air with the luscious aroma of rosemary.

Herb-Roasted Potatoes

1/3 cup olive oil
1 Tbsp coarse salt
1 Tbsp freshly ground black pepper
3 cloves minced garlic
2 Tbsp chopped rosemary leaves
2 Tbsp chopped Italian Parsley
1 bag of small red potatoes, scrubbed and diced

Preheat oven (or toaster oven) to 450° F. Combine all ingredients except potatoes in a bowl and mix well. Add potatoes and toss to coat thoroughly. Dump the contents of the bowl onto a baking sheet and spread out the potatoes. Bake until potatoes are fork-tender, turning occasionally, around 45 minutes.

Yum.
