How to make Oven Roasted Potatoes?

4. To peel or not to peel baby potatoes is entirely up to you: just a note that potato skin adds nutrients and extra crunch.
5. Prepare your olive oil mix and toss baby potatoes in that. Coat them well.
6. Lay the potatoes on a greased baking tray in a single layer. Do not overlap them as they will become mushy.
