Here is a simple way to bake small red potatoes. I make these in the toaster oven (when the regular oven is cooking something else). There are a number of other flavor combinations you can try to top these - I'll be sure to try them with cheese or butter on top (added during the last 5 minutes of baking).

Red Potatoes (as many as you need)

Basil
Oregano

Cooking Directions
Heat oven to 375.
Slice the potatoes in 1/4 inch slices. Use a wooden spoon to keep from cutting all the way through (see picture). Drizzle oil over the potato. Top with spices.
Bake for around 30 minutes (or until tender).
