Ingredients: Oven Roasted Potatoes  4 medium potatoes (Yukon gold, red or russet work great) 2–3 tablespoons olive oil 1–1½ teaspoons seasoned salt (adjust to taste) Instructions: Instructions: Preheat oven to 425°F. Prep the potatoes by scrubbing well. Cut into bite-sized chunks (about 1/2 inch cubed). Try to keep them similar in size so they cook evenly. Place potatoes in a large bowl. Drizzle with olive oil and toss to coat evenly. Sprinkle with seasoned salt and toss again. Spread potatoes in a single layer on a baking sheet.

Potatoes are done when they’re golden brown and crispy on the outside, tender on t...
