Then drain and mix them with extra virgin olive oil, salt, garlic pepper, and oregano. Bake at 450° until they are crispy and tender. Your roasted potatoes will never be better.

Roasted Potatoes
2 lb. Mini Potatoes (halved)
1 tbsp. Plus 1 tsp. Salt
1 tsp. Garlic Pepper
1 tsp. Dried Oregano
½ Cup Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Preheat the oven to 450 degrees. Boil water and add a tablespoon of salt. Add the potatoes to the boiling water and cook for 15 minutes and drain. In a bowl combine the salt, garlic pepper, oregano and olive oil and mix well. Pour over the potatoes and mix well. Place the potatoes (skin side up in a single layer) on a rimmed baking sheet (I use a 13 x 9 Pyrex) and bake for about 45 to 50 minutes or until crispy. You can even put them under the broiler for a minute to give it extra crispiness.
