Crispy roasted red potatoes are the perfect side dish with just about anything. Garlicy with Italian flavorings, these are incredibly easy to make!
Super Easy to Make Roasted Red Potatoes
First, cut up the potatoes into bite size pieces. Since red potatoes come in such a wide variety of sizes, it might just be cutting them in half or quarters. If you get large potatoes like we had for our video, then it can take some extra cutting. Next, mix them with all the other ingredients. I’ve found the easiest way to evenly distribute the spices to the potatoes is by using a gallon baggie. Add everything together and give them a shake (make sure your bag is sealed really well!) Finally, bake the potatoes at 450F for about 30 minutes until they are tender inside and crispy outside. Doesn’t get much easier than that!
Why Red Potatoes?
The red potatoes have enough peel on them to get crunchy when you bake them. We have tried this with Yukon Gold potatoes, and they just don’t get the crunch. The peel on the Yukon Gold potato is too thin and can even start to slide off the pieces as they bake.
Russet potatoes, on the other hand, tend to have too thick of a peel. They get chewy instead of crispy, and the flavor doesn’t compliment the spices as well.
Overall, the red potato is just perfect for this recipe, and is a go to favorite for our family.

The flavors combine for an amazing dish! The amount of flavor that these bring to your plate is incredible. They pair extremely well with beef, pork or chicken!
These disappear every time we put them on the table. They have such great flavor and the crispy potatoes are a great crunch for your plate. Enjoy!
