Roasted Garlic Potatoes

These potatoes are awesome because they are extremely versatile. They go great with breakfast food, either as a side to meat and eggs or in breakfast burritos. They'd also go great with any dinner where you might instead make a baked potato or fries. I'm sure there are even more uses for them! Potatoes are also always pretty cheap to make, so they are awesome when you are trying to be frugal.

Ingredients:

3 medium russet potatoes
2 Tbsp olive oil
1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper
3 cloves garlic, minced (or 1/2 tsp garlic powder)
salt, to taste

Directions:

1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
2. Cut the potatoes into 1/4”-1/2” pieces.
3. Place in a bowl with the olive oil, pepper, and garlic. Toss until the potatoes are evenly coated.
4. Transfer the potatoes to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and spread out into an even layer.
5. Roast in oven for 45 minutes to 1 hour, or until browned and crisp. Flip twice during cooking to make sure potatoes do not burn and are evenly browned.
6. Remove from oven and season with salt and pepper to taste.
