Roasted Provincial Potatoes:
Pre-heat the oven to 425 degrees. Cut 1.5 lbs. of red potatoes into 3/4 wedges, leaving the skins on. Toss the potatoes with 2 T. olive oil, 1.5 T. herbs de provence, 1/2 tsp. salt. Place the potatoes, flesh side down on a cookie sheet, cover tightly with foil. Bake covered for 20 minutes then uncover for 15 minutes. Now turn over each wedge to brown the other side and cook for an additional 15 mins.
