    The easiest, crispiest, and most delicious accompaniment to almost any meal are these Oven Roasted Potatoes. If mashing potatoes or frying French fries are too much trouble, these potatoes will fill the bill. They are fluffy and soft inside, but crispy on the outside. Just dice, season, and pop them into a hot oven for a bit while you make the rest of your meal.

    What kind of potatoes should I use to make Oven Roasted Potatoes?

    While you can use whatever potato you have if you're hungry enough, I highly recommend a firm potato like a red one in order to guarantee a bit more success.

    In my opinion, Yukon Golds are great for mashed potatoes because they are creamy and have thin skins. But when they are roasted, I find that they don't get as crispy so I prefer a firm red potato or even fingerlings.

    SO ... red-skinned, firm potatoes are my choice. Leave the skin on and dice them into about half-inch pieces.

    Season them with olive oil, garlic powder, paprika (smoked is a treat!), oregano, salt, and pepper.

    A word of warning

    Don't be tempted to season the potatoes before you are ready to put them in the oven. Potatoes have a lot of moisture and the salt draws it out even more. If you wait until right before you are ready to roast them, the salt will season the potatoes rather than drain them of the fluffiness under the crispiness.

    How to roast potatoes in the oven

    I always use parchment paper to line a baking sheet. I've put them straight onto a baking sheet before and they stick like crazy! All of the crispy gets left on the baking sheet and the crispy is what I'm here for!

    Make sure the potatoes are in one layer as much as possible and roast those babies at 450°F for 40-45 minutes. Or until they are browned and crispy.

    How to serve Oven Roasted Potatoes

    Almost every time we grill, I make a batch of Oven Roasted Potatoes. I always make extra, too, to warm up in a skillet the next morning to go with our eggs. You can serve them with any sauce for dipping, if you like ... ketchup, ranch dressing, BBQ sauce ... or you can let them absorb all the juices from your steak or chicken!

    Headshot of Tammy.

    I have always loved nurturing and feeding people. My cooking style is influenced by my Southern parents, time living in Europe, and the foods available in the Pacific Northwest, where I lived for over 20 years. I cook from scratch and strongly support local farms and producers, believing that food plays a pivotal role in our quality of life.
