    Ingredients required to make Oven Roasted Potatoes!

    This is a straightforward recipe with the shortest ingredient list. All you need is 5 wholesome ingredients to bake these yummy potatoes. The best part, this recipe uses staples that everyone already has in their pantry.

    » Potatoes – the star ingredient. I have used baby potatoes. They are rinsed and cut in halves. 

    » Garlic – adds a deep rich flavor and takes this dish to a whole new level. I have used fresh garlic here but feel free to swap it with dried garlic powder. 

    » Parsley – adds tons of fresh flavors and color. 

    » Parmesan cheese – lends a subtle cheesy and crispy flair.

    » Olive Oil – adds a beautiful flavor. Cab be substituted for avocado oil or any neutral-tasting oil. 

    » Seasonings – Kept it simple with just the basic – salt, pepper, and chili flakes. 

    How to make Oven Roasted Potatoes?

    1. Preheat oven – Preheat your oven to 425°F. Grease a baking sheet and set it aside. 

    2. Get the potatoes ready – Rinse and clean the potatoes thoroughly. Pat them dry and cut them into halves. 

    3. Dressing- Combine olive oil, salt, pepper, red chili flakes, parsley, garlic, and cheese in a bowl. Mix it well.  Add the potatoes to this mix and toss until fully coated.

    4. Bake – Transfer the potatoes onto the greased baking tray in a single layer. Do not crowd them as they will become mushy. Bake for about 20 minutes until crispy and golden.

    Remove from oven and serve hot!

    Recipe tips to make the best Oven roasted potatoes

    » The size of the potato is the real thing. If you prefer crispier potatoes, cut them into small cubes. For a softer bite, slice them in halves. 

    » Cut all the potatoes into equal size as this will ensure an even cooking time. 

    » To peel or not to peel baby potatoes is entirely up to you: just a note that potato skin adds nutrients and extra crunch.

    » Ensure all the potato cubes are well coated in the spice mix; therefore, toss it well. 

    » Feel free to line your baking tray with parchment paper or aluminum foil. 

    » After the initial baking time is over, for an extra crispy potato, broil the baby potatoes for 2-3 minutes. Keep a watchful eye as they may burn quickly. 2-3 minutes at the max. 

    » For a healthy option – swap potatoes with sweet potatoes or yam. Peel and cut them into 1-inch cubes and bake. 

    » This is a versatile recipe, so play around with different combinations, spices, herbs and adjust them to suit your own taste.

    Leftovers

    Transfer any leftover oven-roasted potatoes to an airtight container and store them in the fridge. It will last for 2-3 days. 

    To reheat, spread them on a baking tray and basket for 6-8 minutes at 400°F or until heated through. 

    Serving suggestions

    These potatoes are a great accompaniment to many dishes. I make this oven roasted potatoes recipe regularly once a week and commonly pair them with – 

    • Pasta Salad
    • Quinoa Salad
    • Butternut squash stew and
    • Focaccia Bread.

    The list is endless. Include these oven-roasted potatoes in your menu and watch them disappear!

      We loved these! I made them last night for dinner, and used baby new potatoes, mixed seasonings like in recipe.Very easy and quick. The shredded parmesan cheese gave them a nice crunch too. Baked in foil – lined cookie sheet for about 30 minutes. Very delicious. Thanks for the recipe.

      Thanks for the super recipe Ruchi. I tried it in my ‘air frier’ ,and everybody was asking for more. For a little change, I added some crushed mint (pudeena) leaves instead of parsley, and it came out well, with a very pleasant flavour.

      I usually make them with soups. We add rosemary rather than cilantro. When we make for Indian gathering we sprinkle chaat masala while serving.

      We make these all the time.
      Adding a tbsp of flour to the oil makes these even crispier, and a tsp of red chilli flakes adds a nice kick if you want a bit of spice.
