When the potatoes are on the larger side, cut them in half lengthwise.

You can also use a mix of potatoes (like the pictures you see here) - I used a mix of baby yellow potatoes and small red potatoes, and to ensure even cooking, I cut the red potatoes in half so everything cooked evenly. .

Papas:Small unpeeled potatoes (such as small red potatoes, small yellow potatoes, or even baby potatoes) work best in this recipe. You can even use a variety of them mixed together. Keep in mind, however, that this method will not work on large red potatoes. If you prefer to use red potatoes, try these sBaked potatoes in a low potrecipe or somethingBaked potatoes in the slow cookerRevenue.

Extra virgin olive oil:I love the light, buttery flavor of the extra virgin olive oil in this recipe. However, you can also use any other unflavored oil, such as avocado, vegetable, or canola oil.

Garlic cloves:Minced fresh garlic definitely enhances this easy recipe, but if you're short on time or don't have one on hand, you can substitute 1 teaspoon of granulated garlic powder.

sal kosher:Look for kosher salt at the grocery store along with regular iodized salt (it has a more subtle flavor). Use less iodized salt if you have it on hand.

More Fun Rry Variations

If you want to add more vegetables to the potatoes: Add 1 pound carrots, washed and cut on a 1-inch diagonal in place of 1 pound potatoes.

If you want to make garlic and herb potatoes:Add chopped fresh herbs (for example, parsley, basil, thyme, or rosemary) after cooking and stir while the potatoes are still hot. Also, be sure to use fresh garlic (instead of garlic powder) for maximum garlic flavor.

If you want to make Garlic Parmesan Potatoes:After cooking, simply sprinkle some fresh Parmesan cheese (traditional or vegan Parmesan) over the potatoes. I like to add mine before serving for the best flavor.
