Roasted Potatoes are crispy on the outside, soft in the center, and only take a few ingredients to make. The potatoes go from prep to table in less than an hour.
I’m a firm believer that a good potato recipe can be a meal all it’s own.
Whether it’s cheesy hash brown casserole, potatoes au gratin, or sweet potato hash, potatoes can make great side dishes or entire entrees.
These roasted potatoes are no different. They’re perfectly seasoned with the right amount of garlic powder and paprika, a touch of dried herbs, and just enough salt and pepper to pull the flavors together.
This is one of my favorite side dishes to make. On occasion, I’ll even make a different variation for breakfast called home fries.
The moral of the story is whenever I can make potatoes, I do! Here’s how I make our roasted potatoes recipe.
After washing and drying the potatoes, cut them into bite-sized pieces. Make sure they’re all the same size, so they cook evenly.
Place the potatoes in a large bowl along with the cooking oil and spices. Give them a quick toss to coat.
Spread the potatoes evenly on a baking sheet and place in a preheated oven to bake. I like to bake ours on 425 for 40 minutes. If the potatoes are on the larger size, I’ll flip them about halfway through the cook time.
Otherwise, they may not need to be flipped. The potatoes will turn golden brown and bubble slightly on the outside when they’ve finished roasting.
Tips for Making Easy Roasted Potatoes
- Use an oil that can handle a high heat (smoke point). Otherwise, the oil will burn and leave a burnt residue on the potatoes.
- Use your favorite seasonings on the roasted potatoes. We like garlic powder, paprika, and a variety of dried herbs. It’s important to use flavors that your family likes, so mix things up!
- To help keep the potatoes from sticking to the pan, lightly spray the pan with cooking spray. It doesn’t take much, but it will keep the potatoes from peeling apart when it’s time to take them off the pan.
Pair these roasted potatoes with your favorite steak, omelette, piece of fish, or a breakfast scramble.
They taste great with any meal! Try them with our Italian marinated grilled chicken, oven roasted carrots, or with a strawberry salad topped with a lemon honey vinaigrette.
