About This Recipe
I'll be completely honest, there are days when I eat just roasted potatoes or a tray of frozen French fries for dinner. It's like those "girl dinners" you see on social media, except I like to convince myself it's slightly more sophisticated because at least I turn my oven on. Last week, I even saw someone eat plain pickles straight from the jar and call it dinner.
These roasted red potatoes are super easy to make. I always do a simple garlic and herb seasoning. They're super delicious and flavorful on their own, but they're also simple enough to pair with basically any main course. I love these as part of a Thanksgiving or holiday spread!
My wife says my potatoes are always the bomb. She wants me to cook them more often, but as a food blogger, I have way too many recipes I want to share! I don't think you guys would appreciate a blog of straight potatoes. Or maybe you would... Maybe I'll start a potatoes-only blog one day for those of you who are interested lol.
Key Ingredients
Red Potatoes: I typically use baby red potatoes, but these bigger ones were on sale this week. I like baby red potatoes more because their skin-to-flesh ratio is much higher, and that means more fiber per bite.
Olive oil: Helps the potatoes crisp up and the seasonings to stick.
Garlic: Freshly minced is a must here.
Seasonings: Salt, Italian seasoning (or dried oregano only), and black pepper.
Fresh parsley: For garnishing and adding some freshness.
Instructions
STEP 1: Chop the potatoes into halves or quarters, depending on size.
STEP 2: In a large bowl, toss together the potatoes, olive oil, garlic, salt, Italian seasoning, and black pepper.
STEP 3: Spread the potatoes evenly on the baking sheet.
STEP 4: Bake for 30-40 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crispy.
