The small red new potatoes are best used for salads or just boiled enough so that they are tender.

Coat lightly with olive oil. Add garlic, bacon, rosemary, parmesan cheese, and butter.

Cook at 400 for about 30 minutes or until tender.

I like to parboil quartered red skins before finishing them in the oven as you describe above.

I like potatoes both ways, so I alternate between the two. I eat potatoes a lot more often than steak, though. Potatoes are cheap!

If the steak is"naked" then I prefer a fancy potato preparation. If there is a suace then no potato or fresh fries are fine for me.
I tend to serve mashed with roast and stews

My new potato of choice is sweet. I had a baked sweet potato a while back with prime rib and it was divine! It had a bit of butter on it. I love sweet potatoes and never thought about pairing them with steak. I have done it several times since. It is awesome!

I prefer mashed potatoes lately because I used to get a plain baked potato in the past a lot.
