Oven Roasted Red Potatoes

Up until recently, I used to prefer russets over red potatoes. I started making more recipes with red potatoes like this au gratin potatoes and am converted! This roasted version is as favorite, as well as my garlic mashed red potatoes and loaded potato salad.

This roasted red potatoes recipe is a classic that will become a new favorite in your monthly rotation. They are so easy to make with a golden brown crispy outside and tender, creamy middle. Plus, they require hardly any clean up!

Try to look for the baby red potatoes if you can find them, because they roast more evenly and get super crispy. I also sometimes like to add grated Parmesan cheese during the last 5 minutes of roasting to dress them up a bit. So tasty!

Cutting the Potatoes

I like to buy mini red potatoes because they crisp up nicely and roast more evenly in the oven. To cut them, simply slice each potato in half, then slice the halves in half. You should end up with 4 small slices per mini red potato.

  • Season. In a large bowl, toss the potatoes with oil, garlic, salt and pepper.
  • Spread. On a large baking sheet that’s been sprayed with nonstick oil, spread potatoes in an even layer.
  • Roast. Bake at 415°F for 30-40 minutes, until fork tender and edges are golden. Toss half way through.

Favorite Seasonings

Garlic and parsley are my two favorite spices to use, however there are lots of other yummy options like making rosemary roasted potatoes instead. Check out some seasonings below that would taste delicious.

Baking Tips

  • Spray the pan with nonstick spray so the potatoes don’t stick to the bottom.
  • Let them dry completely after washing. This ensures they’ll get crispy and not soggy.
  • Dice into smaller, similar sized pieces so they all cook evenly in the oven.
  • Flip halfway through baking so the potatoes get crispy on all sides.
  • Broil the last minute of cooking to get extra crispy potatoes. Keep an eye on them though so they don’t burn!

Serve Suggestions

These make a delicious side dish with almost any meal! Below are our absolute favorite dinners to serve them with:
