Simple Old Fashioned Oven Browned Potato's

"Ideally this recipe would be made using a cast iron skillet, but any baking dish or cooking sheet will do. Optionally, you can improvise with adding chopped onion or minced garlic, or spices like parsley, oregano, thyme, rosemary, etc. This is just the very basic simple version. It's the browning that makes them so delicious on their own." ~~Lynne



Ingredients
6 small potatoes
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon butter
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions
1) Preheat the oven to 450 degrees
2) Clean and cut the potatoes into 1/2"-1" cubes.
3) In a large bowl or zip lock bag, toss the potatoes with the oil and spices.
4) Melt the butter in a cast iron skillet or shallow baking pan.
5) Spread the potatoes in a single layer in the butter, toss with a spatula to coat.
6) Bake at 450 degrees for 25-30 minutes, or until potatoes are tender. Stir the potatoes once after about 15 minutes of baking so they brown on all sides.

Serve immediately. ((Serves 3-4))

NOTE: If you want to use larger chunks of potato, either quarter or halve the potato's, and increase the cooking time by 10-15 minutes.
