Ingredients

  • 2 pounds of red potatoes
  • 2 tablespoons of olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon of garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon of onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon of paprika
  • 1 teaspoon of dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon of dried rosemary

  5. Lay out a large sheet of aluminum foil and place the seasoned potatoes in the center of the foil.
