Ingredients:
- 2 pounds potatoes, red or white with skins intact
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon rosemary

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees.
Wash the potatoes and allow them to dry. You don't need to peel the potatoes, but you may wish to cut out the eyes or any surface blemishes.
Baby potatoes may be left whole, but large potatoes should be cut into 2-inch pieces.
Place the potatoes in a baking dish and drizzle the olive oil over the potatoes. Add rosemary, salt and pepper.
Roast the potatoes uncovered for 30 minutes to one hour. Turn the potatoes occasionally during the cooking time. The potatoes will be done when the flesh is soft and easily pierced with a fork.
