Garlic Red Potatoes

"After making this over a dozen times, here is my edited version: when looking for this recipe, I was looking for a "garlic herb" sort of potato.

After 50 minutes or so, my potatoes weren't even close to being tender and the rest of my meal was about to get cold so I decided to throw everything in the microwave for 10 minutes- usually, that's how I make my baked potatoes so tender.

Maybe I cute mine smaller than others, but that amout of time was perfect, they were nice and brown on the outside and mushed just enough on the inside. If you bake on a cookie sheet instead of in a baking dish, I do recommend turning once about halfway through."

"I love roast potatoes, I find that if you par boil first the roasting time is much less and they crisp up better...." See more"
