Best Herb Roasted Potatoes

Yukon Gold potatoes – medium sized (washed and cut in half lengthwise)

olive oil (divided)

Kosher salt

black pepper

favorite dried herb or herb mix. I love blends or rosemary & garlic; with or without lemon peel (chili powder, thyme (possibly Herbes de Provence or Bouquet Garni. These can ordered from Penzeys or found in the spice aisle))
