Oven Roasted Potatoes
Description
Oven Roasted Potatoes uses red potatoes, cut to size and soaked briefly in water to improve texture. After drying, they are coated in olive oil, garlic powder, fresh parsley, thyme, and rosemary, plus salt and black pepper. Roasting in a preheated oven at 375°F for 40-50 minutes yields potatoes that are fork tender with a golden, slightly crispy exterior. The mix of fresh herbs adds a bright, aromatic flavor that contrasts nicely with the soft potato flesh.
The dish can be served immediately as a versatile side to meats or vegetables. The herb combination gives it a fresh flavor that enhances many meal types. Red potatoes’ waxy texture helps maintain shape and a good balance of softness and crispiness after roasting.
Leftovers keep well in the refrigerator for 3-4 days but may lose their crispness and soften. Serving them warm and fresh preserves the texture best. The recipe notes suggest using other waxy potatoes, like new potatoes or fingerlings, as alternatives, while Yukon Gold is workable though less waxy.
Ingredients
- 1½ - 2 lb red potato halved or quartered, small
- 2 Tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 Tbsp parsley chopped finely, fresh
- 2 tsp thyme chopped finely, fresh
- 2 tsp rosemary chopped finely, fresh
- ½ tsp kosher salt
- ½ tsp black pepper ground
Instructions
- Clean and cut potatoes in half or quartered, depending on size.
- Place potatoes in a bowl of water for 30-60 minutes
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.

Notes

- Soaking cut potatoes in water helps remove excess starch and improves roasting results.
- Leftovers will keep refrigerated for up to four days but are best served fresh to preserve crispness.
