How to make Oven Roasted Potatoes?
This is a straightforward recipe with no complicated steps. All you need is 5 wholesome ingredients to bake these yummy potatoes. The best part is that this recipe uses staples that everyone has in their pantry.
- Small baby potatoes
- Fresh garlic,
- Chopped parsley
- Parmesan Cheese and
- Olive Oil.
Wash the potatoes thoroughly, and pat them dry. Cut them into cubes. 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. To peel or not to peel baby potatoes is entirely up to you: just a note that potato skin adds nutrients and extra crunch.
Prepare your olive oil mix and toss baby potatoes in that. Coat them well. Lay the potatoes on a greased baking tray in a single layer. Do not overlap them as they will become mushy. Bake until crispy and toasty.
These are the BEST and easiest potatoes you will ever make! Gluten-free, healthy and amazingly delicious!

September 8, 2017 at 5:19 amWonder how chopped basil would be instead of parsley. Sound delicious. Going to try these with pork tenderloin. Yummmmm!
Ruchi says
September 8, 2017 at 8:39 amThat would taste super yum. Have tried these potatoes with fresh basil and dill – they are equally delicious!

January 30, 2017 at 5:25 pmThanks 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.

January 30, 2017 at 7:48 amI usually make them with soups. We add rosemary rather than cilantro. When we make for Indian gathering we sprinkle chaat masala while serving.

January 30, 2017 at 8:59 amDitto, love them with soup and bread!
Thanks for sharing a lovely tip!
Johnny says
January 30, 2017 at 7:13 amWe 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.
