Recipe for Roasted Potatoes is as follows:

Roasted Potatoes

In a large bowl add 1 c. olive oil, 2 T. paprika, 2 T. garlic salt, 2 T. italian seasonings, 1 t. black pepper, 1 t. salt, and 1 t. cumin. Mix well and add 8-10 diced potatoes (I leave on the peel), toss and place on a baking sheet. Cook in a 375 degree oven for 45 minutes or until tender.

*you can make the same recipe with an assortment of 4 c. of cubed veggies* (my favorite combination is zucchini, cherry tomatoes, squash, sweet onion, mushroom, and sweet potatoes)

If you would like, use the leftover roasted potatoes and add some cooked bacon and onion, 1/3 c. red wine vinegar, 1/4 c. olive oil, 2 T. fresh herbs (I prefer basil, parsley and chives), salt and pepper to taste. Mix well and serve. Voila, now you have my grandmothers German Potato Salad.
