Ingredients required 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.
- Baby potatoes – the star ingredient.
- Garlic – adds a deep rich flavor and takes this dish to a whole new level.
- Parsley – adds tons of fresh flavors and color
- Parmesan cheese – lends a subtle cheesy and crispy flair.
- Olive Oil – adds a beautiful flavor.
How to make Oven Roasted Potatoes?
1. Wash the potatoes thoroughly, and pat them dry. Cut them into cubes.
2. The size of the potato is the real thing.
3. If you prefer crispier potatoes, cut them into small cubes. For a softer bite, slice them in halves.
4. To peel or not to peel baby potatoes is entirely up to you: just a note that potato skin adds nutrients and extra crunch.
5. Prepare your olive oil mix and toss baby potatoes in that. Coat them well.
6. Lay the potatoes on a greased baking tray in a single layer. Do not overlap them as they will become mushy.
7. Bake until crispy and toasty.
These are the BEST and easiest potatoes you will ever make! Gluten-free, healthy, and amazingly delicious!

Wonder how chopped basil would be instead of parsley. Sound delicious. Going to try these with pork tenderloin. Yummmmm!
Ruchi says
That would taste super yum. Have tried these potatoes with fresh basil and dill – they are equally delicious!
Dr.Maya Rao says
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.
Ruchi says
Pleasure is all mine. 🙂
Thanks for sharing your wonderful feedback with me. Mint leaves is a great addition too!
Anita says
I usually make them with soups. We add rosemary rather than cilantro. When we make for Indian gathering we sprinkle chaat masala while serving.
Ruchi says
Ditto, love them with soup and bread!
Thanks for sharing a lovely tip!
Johnny says
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.
Ruchi says
Thanks for a wonderful tip Johnny!
