2 Ingredient Roasted Red Potatoes
(aka Sheila’s Potatoes, recipe adapted from my husband)

2 lbs. small red potatoes
1 stick (1/2 cup) butter

Pre-heat your oven to 400 degrees. Wash and pat dry red potatoes. Put potatoes in a 13×9-inch baking dish, make sure you just have one layer of the potatoes. Cut butter into 1/2 inch slices and place over the top of the potatoes. Bake for approximately 1 hour, or until cooked through (tested by fork) and golden brown. Serve immediately.
