Description
Simple roasted potatoes are always a side dish you can count on. Easily adaptable to compliment your main dish, warm, crispy, and comforting!
Ingredients
- 12 –16 small yellow flesh potatoes (or 6 cups diced)*
- 1/2 – 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp pepper
- 3/4 tsp smoked paprika
*Fresh ingredients you need that are not part of our pantry and freezer tips.
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425 degrees F and line a baking tray with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
- Rinse your potatoes and pat them dry.
- Slice your potatoes in half, and then in quarters.
- Transfer your potatoes to a large bowl, drizzle with olive oil and stir. Sprinkle on your desired seasonings and stir to coat.
- Spread your seasoned potatoes on your prepared baking sheet and roast for at least 25-30 minutes. Check them after 20 minutes and flip the potatoes over using a spatula. I find they are done by 30 minutes (you can test doneness by piercing the potatoes with a fork to see if they are soft) but I tend to leave them in for 40-45 minutes to get really nice and crispy.
- They are best eaten right away, hot from the oven but will keep in the refrigerator for 2-3 days. To reheat, place them under the broiler for a couple of minutes so they can get crispy again. Watch them carefully though, as they can quickly burn.

*Feel free to season them to best accompany what you’re serving them with. Basil, oregano, and thyme work well. As do, curry powder and cumin. Even toss them with sesame seeds.
*To make these oil free: boil the potatoes for 5 minutes. Then drain the water, season them, and roast for 20-30 minutes until browned.
*For extra crispiness you can try coating the raw diced potatoes in 1 – 2 tbsp arrowroot or cornstarch. Then add the spices. Then the oil. The starch helps to dry out the potato and crisp them up even more.
