Recession or not, potatoes have always been a cheap food staple. But they can get a little redundant if all you do is mash or fry. Yesterday I threw together this cheap roasted potato and broccoli mix with some old herbs I had laying around the kitchen. It should serve 4-6 people, but three of us liquidated it quickly.

8 small red potatoes (or 4-6 bigger ones, the firmer the better)
1 head of broccoli, florets only (no big stem)
1 medium onion, chopped
4 cloves garlic, smashed
1/4 cup olive oil
1 teaspoon dried rosemary
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1 teaspoon garlic salt

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Mix all ingredients in a large bowl until oil and herbs are well-distributed. Place in non-stick sprayed roasting pan (or cookie sheet). Bake for 45min-1hr or until broccoli is browned and tender and potatoes are golden-brown, shriveled and crispy on the outside. Note: use the dried herbs that you like the best, or the ones that need to be used the most. Enjoy!
