Giada's Potatoes

Roasted potatoes are a great addition to any meal of braised, grilled or roasted meat.  I have made these potatoes so much that my family has dubbed them "Giada's potatoes" instead of her "formal" name for them (Roasted Baby Potatoes with Herbs.)  Every time we eat them I remark on how delicious they would be the next day in a frittata or with a fried egg but there are never any left!  Someday.....

Giada's Potatoes (adapted from Giada DeLaurentiis)

2 lb. baby red potatoes or baby yukon gold potatoes, cut in 1" pieces
2 T. herbes de Provence or Italian seasoning
6 cloves garlic, minced
2 t. salt
1 t. pepper
1 T. extra virgin olive oil

Preheat oven to 400.  Combine all ingredients in a large bowl and toss to combine.  Place potatoes on a baking sheet that has been lined with foil and sprayed with cooking spray.  Roast for 40 minutes, tossing with a spatula after 20 minutes.  The potatoes are done when they are cooked through and lightly browned in spots.  Taste for seasoning and serve.  

This is not really a recipe you can make ahead.  However, it is not difficult to whip together either so don't let skip it!
