Oven Roasted Potatoes
Description
To make Oven Roasted Potatoes, small red potatoes are washed and cut into roughly ½ to 1-inch cubes to ensure even cooking. They are tossed thoroughly in a bowl with extra-virgin olive oil and spices such as garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and ground black pepper. Once coated, the potatoes are spread in a single layer on a baking pan that has been lightly oiled or sprayed.
The potatoes roast at a high temperature of 450ºF, promoting a browned, crisped outside while keeping the interior tender. After about 15 minutes, the potatoes are stirred to encourage even browning on all sides. For more crispness, the broiler can be turned on low near the end of cooking for about five minutes with close attention to avoid burning. This optional step deepens the golden color and crispy texture.
These roasted potatoes offer a balanced flavor profile with the mild sweetness of red potatoes enhanced by the aromatic and savory seasonings. They serve well as a side dish for various main courses. The recipe notes that soaking cut potatoes in cold water before roasting can improve crispness by removing excess starch.
Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator and reheated in a microwave or air fryer to regain crispness. The recipe is adaptable for different diets such as gluten-free and Paleo by using suitable oils and spices. The roasting time may vary based on cut size and oven.
Ingredients
- 6 small potato red
- 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper ground
- 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 450ºF. Clean and cut the potatoes into 1/2"-1" cubes. 6 small red potatoes
- In a large bowl, toss the potatoes with the oil and spices. 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt, 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper, 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
- Spray a shallow baking pan or cast iron pan with cooking spray or rub lightly with oil. Spread the potatoes in the bottom of the prepared baking pan. Try to have the potatoes in a single layer with space in between for the ultimate crispiness.
- Bake for 25 minutes, or until potatoes are tender. Stir the potatoes once after about 15 minutes of baking so they brown on all sides. Turn the broiler on low and broil the potatoes for about 5 minutes to brown them even more. This is optional, but it makes the potatoes crispy. Watch the potatoes closely while they are under the broiler so that they don't burn.
Notes
- The baking time depends on potato cube size; about 27 minutes for 1" cubes is typical.
- Soaking cut potatoes in ice water for at least 30 minutes before cooking helps achieve crisper results.
- Leftover roasted potatoes can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated in the microwave or air fryer.
- These potatoes can also be cooked in an air fryer at 450ºF for 20-25 minutes, stirring multiple times to promote even browning.
