    Most people love mashed potatoes or potato fries (or curly fries!). But oven roasted potatoes are truly a comforting dish.

    The flavors are so delicious and the texture of the potatoes can’t be beat.

    It’s the go to side dish my my family especially in the colder months of the year.

    It’s an easy Thanksgiving recipe too.

    Recipe Ingredients + Notes

    Only a few wholesome ingredients are needed for this recipe. They are all easy to find at the grocery store too.

    Red Potatoes. Red potatoes also called ‘new potatoes’ are a thin skinned potato with dense delicious flesh. The skin does not need to be peeled.

    This saves time but also adds color and flavor to the recipe. The potatoes are halved if small or cut into 1-inch pieces if larger in size.

    Olive Oil. Coats the potato pieces for perfect roasting.

    Butter. Olive oil AND butter combines really give these oven roasted potatoes the best flavor.

    Seasonings. Garlic powder, onion powder, dried rosemary, dried thyme, salt and black pepper. This combination of seasonings really pumps up the flavor in the recipe.

    Parmesan Cheese. Shredded or fresh grated Parmesan cheese can be used. Buy it prepared or grate it yourself.

    It comes in multiple forms in the dairy section of the grocery store. For best flavor we don’t recommend using a dried version from a can.

    Recipe FAQ’s + Pro Tips

    What are the Best Potatoes to Use for Roasted Potatoes?

    Though russet potatoes can be used to make roasted potatoes, we love red potatoes.

    The thin skin doesn’t need to be peeled and has great flavor when roasted.

    They save time and add a nice visual appeal to the recipe too.

    The potato flesh is dense in a pleasing way versus a more flakey texture like a cooked russet potato.

    Can this Recipe be Doubled?

    Yes! Use a larger baking dish (9-inch by 13-inch baking dish should work well). Double the ingredient and follow the instructions.

    Check for doneness at the 35 minutes mark. If needed continue roasting until the potatoes have the texture described and golden brown appearance.

    The Size of the Potato Determines how Long they Need to Cook

    The larger the potato pieces the longer the cooking time. Try to choose potatoes of similar size.

    Either halve them if they are smaller or cut them into 1-inch pieces. If cooking larger pieces adjust the cooking time based on their texture and appearance.

    Variations

    Add some spicy heat! Add some smoked paprika (or hot smoked paprika) and crushed chili pepper flakes to give a spicy bite!

    Use baby Potatoes. These tiny baby red potatoes are about 1-inch in diameter. They don’t need to be cut and have a great amount of skin for that crunchy exterior.

    How to Make it – Step-by-Step

    STEP 1. Heat the Oven and Prepare the Baking Dish.

    Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Pour the olive oil into a baking dish (photo 1).

    Add potatoes on top of the oil (photo 2).

    STEP 2. Add the Ingredients.

    Mix the seasonings in a small bowl: garlic powder, onion powder, dried rosemary, dried thyme, salt and pepper.

    Sprinkle over the potatoes in the baking dish. Top with the butter, evenly distributing it over the potatoes.

    Sprinkle on half of the Parmesan cheese (photo 3).

    STEP 3. Bake it. 

    Place in the oven for 30-35 minutes or until the potatoes are done. They will be fork tender and golden in color – refer to photo 4.

    Remove from the oven and toss to combine.

    Sprinkle the remaining Parmesan cheese on top. Place back in the oven for just a few minutes (photo 4).

    Notes

    Potato Suggestions
    Red Potatoes, or ‘new potatoes’, do not require peeling and that skin is delicious when roasted. If you can find the baby version they do not need to be halved either. 
    The potatoes or cut pieces should be about 1-inch in size.
    To add some Spiciness
    Add a bit of smoked paprika and chili flakes to give them a spicy kick!
