I've tried a lot of roasted potato recipes, but this one is my favorite. The potatoes are always perfectly cooked and the bay leaves add a nice touch of flavor.

I'm not usually a fan of roasted potatoes, but these were really good. The bay leaves added a nice flavor and the potatoes were crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside.

I love how easy this recipe is. I just threw everything in a pan and roasted it in the oven. The potatoes were done in about 30 minutes and they were so good!

I've made this recipe several times now, and it always turns out great. The potatoes are always evenly roasted and have a nice crispy texture.

These potatoes were the perfect side dish to my roasted chicken. They were crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside, and the bay leaves added a lovely flavor.
