Roasted Red Potatoes



I never realized just how good a really fresh potato tasted until my husband grew a couple barrels full of red and russet potatoes last summer.  They were small, but packed an amazing amount of flavor into their tiny size.  But homegrown or store bought, try red potatoes roasted in a little olive oil, salt, pepper, and paprika.  They're delicious!
