  2. Wash the potatoes well, and remove any damaged spots.
  3. Pat the potatoes dry with a clean cloth.
  4. Baby potatoes can be left whole, while any potatoes larger than 2 inches should be cut in half or thirds.

  5. Place the washed potatoes into a large mixing bowl and toss with the olive oil.
  6. In a small bowl, mix together your herb mixture, Parmesan cheese and black pepper. Parmesan cheese is quite salty so you may not need to add any salt.

  7. Sprinkle the herb and spice mixture over the potatoes and toss until well coated.
  8. Place the potatoes on a large baking sheet. To really make sure my potatoes don't stick to the bottom of the pan I usually give it a light coating of non stick cooking spray.
  9. Bake the potatoes for 20 minutes then remove the pan from the oven and carefully stir in your finely minced garlic.
  10. Place the pan back in the oven and back for another 20 to 30 minutes. Large potatoes will take longer to cook through so adjust your time accordingly.
  11. Remove the tray of oven roasted red skin potatoes from the oven and place them in a decorative bowl before serving.
