Classic Crispy Roasted Potatoes
These simple roasted potatoes are perfectly crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, making them the ultimate side dish.
recipesbynani.comPotatoes are a staple in my kitchen because they are so versatile and always bring comfort to the table. Whether you are cooking for a busy weeknight dinner or a special holiday meal, this classic recipe is a reliable favorite that never lets you down.
The trick to getting that golden crunch is to make sure your potatoes are completely dry before tossing them in the oil. I like to keep the seasoning simple with salt, pepper, and a little rosemary, but feel free to add your favorite herbs.
🧺 Ingredients
- 2 pounds Yukon gold potatoes, cut into 1 inch chunks
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
👩🍳Instructions
- 1
Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
- 2
Wash and peel your potatoes if you prefer, then chop them into even chunks so they cook at the same rate.
- 3
Place the potatoes on a large rimmed baking sheet.
- 4
Drizzle the olive oil over the potatoes and sprinkle with salt, pepper, rosemary, and minced garlic.
- 5
Use your hands or a spatula to toss everything together until the potatoes are well coated.
- 6
Spread the potatoes out in a single layer, making sure they are not crowded on the pan.
- 7
Roast for 35 to 40 minutes, turning them halfway through, until they are golden brown and fork tender.
💡 Tips
Serve these warm right out of the oven for the best texture. If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days and reheat them in a hot oven to crisp them back up.
