Grandma's Secret Trick

Grandma's Secret Trick

If she couldn't find potatoes smaller than a golf ball, Grandma still could make Oven-Roasted Potatoes. She just selected larger red potatoes and cut them into quarters. She roasted them for 45 minutes to 1 hour, turning them once or twice so all the surfaces got roasted to a golden crisp.
