Ingredients for Roasted Potatoes
Small Potatoes - red or white baby potatoes, make sure they are all the same size for even cooking.
Olive Oil - Look for olive oils that are labeled as extra virgin, cold-pressed, and unfiltered for the highest quality.
Salt - Ina likes to use a lot of salt in her recipes. If you don’t like that much salt, half the amount used.
Black Pepper - Freshly cracked pepper is always best
Garlic - Chopped fresh garlic can take some time to chop so I often always use the freshly minced garlic that comes already made in a jar. Sometimes garlic burns easily at high temperatures so use garlic powder instead.
Parsley - Chop some fresh parsley
See the recipe card below for a full list of ingredients and measurements. Apologies for the parsley spill. 🙂
How to Make Roasted Potatoes
Step 1: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
Step 2: Cut the potatoes in half or quarters and place in a bowl with the olive oil, salt, pepper, and garlic; toss until the potatoes are well coated.
Step 3: Transfer the potatoes to a sheet pan and spread out into 1 layer. Roast in the oven for 45 minutes to 1 hour or until browned and crisp. Flip twice with a spatula during cooking in order to ensure even browning.
Remove the potatoes from the oven, toss with parsley, season to taste, and serve hot.
What to serve with Roasted Potatoes?
There are many options for what to serve with roasted potatoes. Some popular choices include roasted or grilled meats such as Ina Garten's Perfect Roasted Chicken, beef, or pork, as well as vegetables like green beans, carrots, or Air Fyer Brussels sprouts with Bacon.
Some Crock Pot Turkey Chili would be great with these roasted potatoes as well.
You could also pair roasted potatoes with a salad or a side of rice or quinoa. For a more casual meal, you might serve them with burgers or hot dogs.
Recipe FAQs
Boiling potatoes before baking can help to shorten the overall cooking time and ensure that they cook evenly. However, it depends on the recipe and personal preference. Some recipes may call for baking potatoes without boiling them first, while others may require boiling them beforehand. Ultimately, it's up to the individual to decide what method works best for their desired outcome.
The best type of potatoes for roasting are usually those with a higher starch content, such as Russet or Yukon Gold potatoes. These varieties have a fluffy interior that becomes crispy on the outside when roasted. However, you can also use red or white potatoes if you prefer a creamier texture. Ultimately, the type of potato you choose will depend on your personal preference and the recipe you are using.
Storing leftover potatoes is easy. First, make sure they are cooled down to room temperature. Then, place them in an airtight container or resealable plastic bag and store them in the refrigerator. Leftover mashed potatoes can be stored in the same way or frozen for later use. When reheating, add a little bit of milk or butter to keep them moist. Avoid leaving cooked potatoes at room temperature for more than two hours to prevent the growth of bacteria.

No it doesn't burn.
Kim MCGUIRK says
Does the garlic not burn in that amount of cooking time. Especially seeing as it’s chopped?
Rachel says
My husband made this recipe to go with our lunch and we both thought they were delicious. He used Yukon Gold potatoes since that’s what was on hand. We will be making this dish for company.
