Oven Roasted Potatoes
Description
This recipe calls for cutting potatoes, such as Yukon gold or red, into bite-size pieces and coating them with olive oil, then seasoning with melted butter mixed with garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Spread evenly on a lined baking sheet, the potatoes are roasted at 425°F for 30 to 40 minutes, flipping halfway to ensure even browning. The high oven temperature creates a crisp outside while keeping the interior tender. Finishing with fresh chopped parsley adds a fresh herbal note and color contrast. These oven-roasted potatoes offer a straightforward method to achieve a flavorful, textured side dish suitable for accompanying meats or vegetables.
Ingredients
- 3 lbs. potato or red or a mixture of both, cut into bite-size pieces, Yukon gold variety
- 2 to 3 Tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 4 Tablespoons butter (melted)
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder (or 4 garlic cloves, minced)
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 Tablespoons parsley fresh
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
- Cut potatoes into bite-size pieces and place in a bowl. Toss with olive oil. In a small bowl, stir together melted butter, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Drizzle over potatoes and toss evenly.
- Line a baking sheet with a Silpat, parchment paper, or aluminum foil spray with non-stick cooking spray. Pour potato mixture onto the pan.
- Bake for 30-40 minutes, depending on the size of the potatoes. Flip the potatoes halfway through cooking time. Watch carefully and pierce with a fork to know if the potatoes are completely cooked through.
- Toss with fresh parsley and more garlic butter, if so desired.
