Roasted Red Potatoes
Description
Roasted Red Potatoes feature diced red potatoes seasoned with Italian seasoning, parsley flakes, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper, then lightly coated with olive oil. Baking on a dark baking sheet at 450ºF helps them achieve a golden brown, crispy crust while maintaining a delicate, fork-tender center. Halfway through roasting, the potatoes are stirred to promote even browning. Optionally, a brief broil can deepen the color and crispiness. The waxy texture of red potatoes ensures they stay intact rather than falling apart, making them ideal for roasting.
This dish is suitable as a side to many entrées, offering a satisfying combination of crisp edges and soft interiors. The seasoning blend adds herbaceous and savory notes that complement the mild sweetness of the potatoes. Roasted Red Potatoes can be served at breakfast, lunch, or dinner, enhancing menus with a straightforward, hearty vegetable preparation.
Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator and reheated either in the microwave or an air fryer to help restore crisp texture. Russet potatoes can be substituted but may result in a softer, less cohesive final product.
Ingredients
- 2 cups red potato diced
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- ½ teaspoon parsley flakes
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- olive oil spray or 1 tablespoon olive oil
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 450ºF. These work best if you bake them on a dark baking sheet. They get nice and crispy that way!
- Place diced potatoes in a large bowl and spray with olive oil cooking spray (or toss with 1 tablespoon olive oil). Season with Italian seasoning, parsley flakes, salt, garlic powder, and black pepper. Stir to combine. 2 cups diced red potatoes, 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning, ½ teaspoon parsley flakes, ½ teaspoon salt, ½ teaspoon garlic powder, ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- Place potatoes in a single layer on a greased rimmed dark baking sheet.
- Bake for 25-35 minutes, stirring halfway through. Potatoes are done when they are golden brown and crispy on the outside and fork-tender.
- If you'd like the potatoes a little more golden brown, place them under the broiler for just a minute or two. Watch them closely!
Notes
- Red potatoes hold their shape well during roasting thanks to their waxy texture; Russets may become less firm.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and reheat in the microwave or air fryer for best texture.
- Baking on a dark baking sheet promotes crispiness and browning.
- A quick broil after roasting can increase golden color—watch closely to avoid burning.
