Notes

If your red potatoes are closer to the size of a baseball rather than a golf ball, cut them into quarters before seasoning so they cook evenly.
White potatoes usually take a little longer to roast so add about 5 to 10 extra minutes of cooking time. 
 
Storage and Reheating
Let potatoes cool to room temperature. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Reheat on a sheet pan in a 400°F (200°C) oven for 10 minutes or until warmed through.
