These Easy Roasted Potatoes are crisp on the outside, tender on the inside and lightly seasoned. They pair perfectly with just about any menu.
I am always looking for easy side dishes. A lot of times you put in a ton of time (or what seems like it) on the main dish and then realize “oh yeah I need a side dish, but I’m tired of cooking”
So these easy roasted potatoes will solve that problem. They are a no brainer and as long as you don’t crowd your pan with potatoes and cook them in a hot oven you will get awesomely crispy potatoes. Perfect!
In this recipe I have added in garlic powder and fresh rosemary because that is how I usually make them. They are my go to potatoes. However, feel free to add whatever herbs and spices you like.
The only things I suggest not changing about this recipe would be the oven temp, the oil to potato ratio and don’t overcrowd the pan. Overcrowding may lead to more steaming and thus no crispy potatoes 🙁
Otherwise, be creative and use the seasonings you enjoy!
- 3 pounds red potatoes
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 1 teaspoon minced fresh rosemary
- 1 teaspoon salt I usually use season salt
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- pepper to taste
-
Preheat oven to 450 degrees F.
-
Wash and scrub potatoes then cut into 1 inch pieces. Place in a large bowl and toss with remaining ingredients. Spread evenly on a baking sheet. Bake for 30 minutes or until golden stirring twice.
Sounds good! I’ll have to try them on the kids some noon. I bet they would like them.
Thanks, Grandma!
