Ingredients:

• 2 medium potatoes, peeled and cubed
• 1 large tomatoes, diced
• 1 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon dried herbs (such as rosemary, thyme, or Italian seasoning)
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Optional: Garlic powder or minced garlic for extra flavor
• Optional: Fresh parsley or basil for garnish

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven:
   • Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).

2. Prepare the Potatoes:
   • Peel the potatoes and cut them into even-sized cubes.
   • Place the cubed potatoes in a mixing bowl.

3. Season the Potatoes:
   • Drizzle olive oil over the potatoes.
   • Add salt, pepper, dried herbs, and garlic (if using). Toss until the potatoes are well-coated with the oil and seasonings.

4. Bake the Potatoes:
   • Spread the seasoned potatoes on a baking sheet in a single layer to ensure they cook evenly.
   • Bake in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, or until the potatoes are golden brown and tender. Stir the potatoes halfway through the baking time.

5. Add the Tomatoes:
   • When the potatoes are nearly done, add the diced tomatoes to the baking sheet with the potatoes.
   • Return to the oven and bake for an additional 5-10 minutes until the tomatoes are just softened.

6. Pack for the Workplace:
   • Allow the baked potatoes and tomatoes to cool slightly, then transfer to an airtight container.
   • If you prepared a fresh herb garnish, pack it separately to sprinkle on after reheating your meal at work.

7. Reheat and Serve:
   • At work, you can heat the potatoes and tomatoes in a microwave until warm.
   • Sprinkle with fresh herbs, if you brought some, and enjoy your hearty and comforting meal!

This dish is perfect for a filling work lunch, providing the comfort of roasted potatoes with the juiciness of roasted tomatoes. It's a simple yet delicious and smelly meal that can easily be reheated at the office.
