Basque Potatoes

Adapted from Farmhouse Cookbook, by Susan Herrman Loomis, Workman Publishing, New York, 1991.

Ingredients

4 medium russet potatoes (or more -- can use red potatoes too)
1/4 cup olive oil
4 cloves garlic, mashed
1 teaspoon paprika
Cayenne to taste
1 teaspoon crumbled dried rosemary
1/2 teaspoon powdered thyme
1/4 cup coarsely chopped parsley
Salt and pepper to taste

Directions

Preheat oven to 375. Scrub the potatoes well. Peel if desired. Cut into 1 to 1.5 inch pieces. Heat olive oil in large oven-proof pan. Add garlic and saute. Add all spices except salt and pepper. Add potatoes, salt and pepper. Stir. Put in oven and bake covered for 15 minutes or until potatoes are soft. Remove lid and cook 25 -- 35 minutes more or until potatoes are golden and soft. Stir occasionally during cooking.
