Roasted Potatoes    

I made this recipe several years ago at a ladies' retreat.  The following year, the ladies asked for the Roasted Potatoes.  They are delicious enough to be requested one year after introducing them.  They are also easy enough that even a child could make them.  Here is what I do:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
• Line pan with enough aluminum foil to completely encase potatoes.  This will keep potatoes moist during cooking and make clean-up easier.
•  Wash enough potatoes to serve guest.  (approximately 8oz. per person)
• Cut potatoes into one inch cubes.
• Place in aluminum foil lined pan.
• Sprinkle potatoes cubes with olive oil.  Toss potatoes to make sure each cube is coated. (Use enough oil so that each cube is coated, but not standing in oil.)
• Season with salt and pepper.
• Sprinkle two packages of Lipton Onion Soup mix over potatoes.
• Toss potatoes to coat cubes with soup mix.
• Encase potatoes in aluminum foil.
• Bake in oven until potatoes are fork tender.

The potatoes should be slightly crispy on the outside and tender in the middle. More roasted potatoes.
