Buttery, garlicky, fluffy inside with crisp, golden edges… these roasted potatoes tick all my boxes! No need for bowls or pans when you can prepare and cook your potatoes on ONE PAN! Winding it back from our crispy garlic butter parmesan smashed potatoes, these traditional style crispy roasted potatoes will take you back to basics and will quickly become a family staple.
HOW TO MAKE CRISPY ROAST POTATOES
A fool-proof recipe, these roasted potatoes are a simply delicious side dish that go with anything! From Garlic Herb Roast Chicken, sun-dried tomato and garlic roast lamb, to our grilled steak with browned butter! Feel free to get creative with seasonings and herbs you have on hand.
The amount of garlic used in this roasted potato recipe is adaptable to your preference. Use less or more! I use sea salt on these. There’s something about granular salt on potatoes that I love. Try not to use table salt if you can. Kosher salt is good too. If you don’t like parsley, you can use fresh chopped rosemary, thyme, even basil. Dried herbs would work just as well, but go easy. I usually use 2 teaspoons.
With minimal ingredients and maximum flavour, these will be the best roast potatoes you’ve tried to date!
WHAT POTATOES ARE BEST FOR ROASTING?
Roasted potatoes are fairly versatile. You can use any kind of potato for roasting! You can use white potatoes, red potatoes, baby potatoes, russets, Yukon gold, brushed, or even roasted sweet potatoes… they’re all delicious! Whether you peel potatoes before roasting or prefer them with the skin on, I’ll leave it completely up to you. Personally, I love the look, flavour and texture of roasted red and Yukon gold potatoes with skin-on, but prefer peeled when roasting simple white potatoes. If using baby potatoes, simply slice them in half to let the seasoning coat them evenly and that will leave you with crispy roasted potato skins on the outside for added crunch.
HOW LONG TO ROAST POTATOES
For crispy roasted potatoes, I prefer to roast them at a higher temperature for the best, golden results: normally at 400°F (200°C) for 45-55 minutes, while turning them a couple of times to ensure they crisp up all over. Or use the following reference as a guide for your personal preference:
350°F (175°C): 65-75 minutes. 375°F (190°C): 55-65 minutes. 400°F (200°C): 45-55 minutes. 450°F (230°C): 35-45 minutes.
WHAT TO EAT WITH ROASTED POTATOES
ANYTHING goes! Prime rib roast, pork tenderloin, fire cracker salmon, chicken parmesan, oven BBQ ribs or a perfect beef brisket! For something extra, top them with sour cream, crispy diced bacon, chives or green onions, cheese, chopped tomatoes… or slow cooker pulled pork!
