Here's a favorite recipe of mine because it's so easy and everyone loves it. You will need a bout 2 pounds of redskin potatoes cut into quarters. Was them thoroughly and pat dry with paper towel.
Next place the potatoes into a large bowl and coat with 1/4 cup oil. Then open a bag of seasoned bread crumbs from the grocery store. ( I like Shake & Bake but you can use whatever flavor you like.)
