Perfectly Crispy Oven-Roasted Red Potatoes
Description
Perfectly Crispy Oven-Roasted Red Potatoes use washed, quartered red potatoes coated evenly with vegetable oil. Seasoned simply with salt and black pepper, they are spread out in a single layer on a baking sheet to ensure even roasting. The oven set at 425°F helps render the potato edges crisp while cooking the interior to a soft texture.
Throughout the 30 to 40-minute bake, flipping the potatoes once promotes uniform browning on all sides, producing a mix of crispy crust and tender flesh. Garnishing with fresh chopped parsley at the end adds a subtle herbaceous touch but is optional.
This potato side can pair with a variety of main dishes or be served as a snack. The basic seasoning allows it to complement different flavors without overpowering them.
Ingredients
- 2 pounds potato washed and quartered, red
- 2 to 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon parsley optional, chopped, fresh
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F.
- Place the potatoes and vegetable oil in a large bowl and toss until the potatoes are coated with oil.
- Transfer the potatoes to a sheet pan or shallow baking pan in a single layer. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
- Bake for 30 to 40 minutes or until the potatoes are golden brown and crisp. You may want to flip the potatoes once during cooking so all sides brown evenly.
- Serve garnished with chopped parsley, if desired.
