Substitutions And Additions
SEASONING: If there are certain spices used in this recipe that you don’t prefer, just leave them out. This recipe can be seasoned to suit your personal taste.
CHEESE: Try adding some freshly grated parmesan cheese over top of the potatoes before the final five minutes of baking.
Finish baking the potatoes, and the cheese will melt, creating a deliciously seasoned parmesan potato side dish.
POTATOES: This recipe makes the best oven-roasted red potatoes, but you can use other types of potatoes too.
Small Yukon Gold potatoes are a great choice for a golden yellow potato with a tender skin.
How To Make This Roasted Potatoes Recipe
STEP ONE: Preheat the oven to 425° F.
STEP TWO: Cut each potato in half and place them in a large bowl.
STEP THREE: Pour the olive oil over potatoes and toss well to coat.
STEP FOUR: Sprinkle all of the spices over the potatoes and toss to evenly coat.
OUR RECIPE DEVELOPER SAYS
We use garlic powder in this recipe because in the amount of time the potatoes need to bake, fresh garlic will burn. But if you really love fresh garlic with your potatoes, you can add it during the last 5 minutes of baking.
STEP FIVE: Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil. Lay the potatoes in a single layer on a baking sheet.
STEP SIX: Bake for 25 minutes until golden brown, stirring halfway through.
PRO TIP:
Oven temperatures vary and may need to be recalibrated periodically to ensure they are accurate. Make sure to keep a close eye on your potatoes as the suggested baking time approaches.
STEP SEVEN: Serve the potatoes hot.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use other types of potatoes for oven roasting?
While russet potatoes are commonly used, you can also roast red, Yukon Gold, or fingerling potatoes. Each type offers a slightly different texture and flavor, so feel free to experiment.
Is it necessary to peel the potatoes before roasting them?
It’s not necessary to peel the potatoes. In fact, leaving the skins on can add extra flavor, texture, and nutrients to your dish. Just make sure to wash and scrub them thoroughly before cutting.
How do I prevent the potatoes from sticking to the baking sheet?
To prevent sticking, make sure to use a well-greased or parchment paper-lined baking sheet. Additionally, avoid overcrowding the potatoes on the sheet, as this can lead to sticking and uneven cooking.

I’ve never oven-roasted anything before but had been craving this dish for a while now. Since I had found this site a few months ago, I decided to look for the dish here and was happy to find it. Just made it last night and it was a huge hit. We ate more potatoes than the main course! The recipe was super easy to follow. I will definitely be adding this recipe to my binder!
