Crispy Baked Red Potatoes
Serves 2
7-8 Small red potatoes, sliced in wedges
Dried basil
Sea Salt
Fresh ground black pepper
Olive oil
2 Garlic cloves, minced
Wash and dry the potatoes well, carving off any bad spots. Even if they’re a bit soft, they’ll cook just fine in the oven.
Set oven to 400 degrees. Cover a rimmed baking sheet with foil. Slice potatoes in small wedges and add to a large ziplock bag.
Add 2-3 tablespoons of olive oil, minced garlic and all the spices, seal it and give it a few good shakes to coat everything well. Measure with your eye, it will make you a better cook!
Place on baking sheet and bake for 25 minutes, flipping wedges once during baking.
Serve immediately and enjoy!
