Easy Roasted Potatoes

We recently discovered this recipe in the Better Homes and Gardens New Cook Book and LOVE it!

We make a couple alterations:
We dice the potatoes so they are about 1 inch in size and do enough to cover the bottom of a 9x13 pan. Then we times the oil and seasonings by 4 - we like ours to have a bit stronger flavor : ) We also do the speed cooking method and stir every 10 minutes.

Here is the recipe as listed in the book:

3 medium potatoes (1 pound), quartered, or 10 to 12 whole tiny new potatoes (1 pound), quartered
2 tablespoons olive oil or margarine or butter, melted
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/4 teaspoon garlic salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1/8 teaspoon paprika

Place potatoes in a greased 9x9x2-inch baking pan. Combine oil and seasonings. Drizzle over potatoes, tossing to coat. Bake, covered, in a 325 degree oven 45 minutes. Stir potatoes. Bake, uncovered, 10 to 20 minutes more or till potatoes are tender and brown on edges. Makes 4 servings.

To speed it up, roast potatoes, uncovered, in a 450 degree oven 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
