Simple potatoes with salt and pepper

My friend gave me some of her red potatoes from her garden.  So I sliced them, drizzled extra virgin olive oil over them.  Gave them a good sprinkling of  salt and pepper (you could also add italian seasoning, thyme, rosemary, sage) and gave them a good toss on the cookie sheet.  Put them in the oven at 350 degrees for about 40 min. (or until they are cooked all the way through).  If you would like, you can sprinkle some cheese on them while they are hot.
