Balsamic Roasted Potatoes                                           Time: 35 - 40 minutes

2 -3 potatoes depending on size - enough for 2
1 tbs Balsamic vinegar
1 tbs olive oil
1/2 tsp garlic powder

Cut potatoes in 4ths the long way and then in thirds the short way. (You may have noticed by now that I never peel potatoes - waste of time and nutrition.  I make an exception for garlic-mashed). Put olive oil and vinegar in medium bowl, and mix well.  Add potatoes and toss well to coat.  Now you have some choices: you can either put them on a baking sheet with a lip (trusty round pizza pan) and bake in the oven for 30 minutes, or put them in an old 'for barbecue only' metal pan and cook over direct heat on the barbecue, stirring frequently until brown and done, about 25 minutes. The vinegar gives these a kind of crusty sweetness that works well with the roasted or grilled meats. Salt and pepper to taste - I don't bother. Serve.
