Roasted Red Potatoes
These roasted red potatoes are sliced baby reds tossed with olive oil, salt, and pepper, baked at a high temperature for a crispy outside and tender inside. Finished with butter and fresh dill, they offer fresh herbal notes and a rich, buttery finish, making them a versatile side dish.
Ingredients
- 1 ½ pounds red potatoes baby
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoon butter unsalted
- 2 tablespoons dill minced fresh
- salt coarse and freshly cracked, to taste
- black pepper coarse and freshly cracked, to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°.
- Start by slicing the baby red potatoes in half width-wise.
- Add the potatoes to a large bowl and toss with olive oil, salt, and pepper.
- Place the potatoes spread out on a sheet tray lined with parchment paper and bake at 425° for 22 to 25 minutes or until lightly browned and cooked.
- Transfer the potatoes to a separate large bowl and toss with butter and fresh dill.
- Serve with additional chopped fresh dill as an optional garnish.
Notes
- Roasting at 425°F yields crisp exterior and soft interior; avoid lower temperatures for best texture.
- Use parchment paper for even browning and easier cleanup.
- Toss potatoes with butter and dill immediately after roasting to enhance flavor and melt butter evenly.
- Serve shortly after roasting to maintain crisp edges; leftovers refrigerate well for up to 3 days.
- Reheat in oven at 350°F for 8-10 minutes to restore crispness.
- Optional: Add freshly grated Parmesan or switch dill for Italian seasoning for variety.
