Parmesan Rosemary Red Potatoes

I discovered that I had a half of a 5 lb. bag of red potatoes that I needed to cook before they went “bad”.  And I don’t like to waste food  :-|   So I baked them up with some fresh rosemary and Parmesan cheese.  Here’s how you do it:  First, wash and scrub your potatoes.  Since my potatoes had been in my pantry a little while, they had those little “eyes” on them.  So, if you have any of those “eyes” on your potatoes, remove them with the tip of a potato peeler.

Removing Eyes from Potato Then slice potatoes in pieces, about 1 1/2 inches (or so).

Slicing Potatoes Place sliced potatoes in a 1 gallon plastic storage bag, along with olive oil, salt & pepper, rosemary and garlic.  Shake & rub the bag to get all the “good stuff” on your potatoes.
