Roasted Red Potatoes

Roasted Red Potatoes are the perfect side dish for so many different entrees! Steak, chicken, pork, seafood and so much more accompany these garlicky roasted potatoes in the best way. They’re tender and fluffy on the inside while being flavorful and crisp on the outside. While they are simple, they usually end up being more popular than the entree!

Roasted Red Potatoes

Looking for the perfect side dish? You’ve found it! Roasted Red Potatoes are SO easy to make, hearty enough to make your plate even more filling, and always hit the spot. They’re a picky-eater-approved side dish that checks all of the right boxes. You can even make them vegan by omitting the parmesan cheese if you need to go that route.

They go with just about anything from the best meatloaf to a simple Roasted Chicken, they’re the unsung hero of side dishes.

Ingredients

• Red Potatoes – Any size red potato will work but you can save time by using baby red potatoes.
• Olive oil – Save your extra virgin olive oil for your salads, a regular mild olive oil is perfect here.
• Garlic – Roughly chopped garlic infuses the potatoes with organic flavor and is less likely to burn while roasting.
• Spices – We use garlic powder, salt and Italian seasoning but you can experiment with your favorite seasonings.

How to Make Roasted Red Potatoes

These simple potatoes are SO easy to roast in the oven! Just toss them with a little seasoned olive oil and garlic, bake, and enjoy. It’s really that simple!

1. Prepare. Preheat your oven to 400°F and coat a baking sheet with spray.
2. Make the olive oil mixture. Stir together the olive oil, garlic cloves, and seasonings in a bowl.
3. Toss. Pour the olive oil mixture over the chopped potatoes in a separate bowl and toss to fully coat.
4. Bake. Place the potatoes on the baking sheet in a single layer. The cut side should be in contact with the pan. Bake for 35-40 minutes.
5. Flip. Flip the potatoes with a spatula and bake for another 5 minutes.

Serving Suggestions

There are so many incredible entree options out there! Here are just a few of my favorite entrees to serve with these roasted potatoes, but the list is truly never-ending:

• Cast Iron Skillet Steak
• The Best Oven Baked Chicken Breast
• Hot Honey Glazed Salmon
• Pan Fried Pork Chops
• Grilled Lobster Tail
• The Best Meatloaf

Storage

In an airtight container in the fridge, any leftover potatoes you have will stay fresh for up to 4 days.

While they reheat just fine in the microwave, they’re even better when they’re warmed up in the oven or air fryer.

I LOVE enjoying my leftover Roasted Red Potatoes with eggs in the morning! They’re great either right next to the eggs or served up in a scramble.

How to Cut Red Potatoes for Roasting

In order for you to achieve the quick cooking time and perfectly portioned potato for your fork, I recommend cutting them into fourths/quarters, not halves. Halved red potatoes will take longer to cook and they won’t be easy to eat with your fork unless you slice them as you go.
