Perfect Roasted Red Potatoes
These potatoes are golden and crispy on the outside while staying perfectly soft and fluffy on the inside.
recipesbynani.comI grew up eating red potatoes often, but this roasted version has become my absolute favorite way to prepare them. They have that wonderful earthy flavor and a texture that makes them hard to resist when they come fresh out of the oven.
My biggest tip is to cut the pieces into large chunks. This creates the best contrast between the crunchy edges and the creamy centers. Just be sure to use garlic powder instead of fresh garlic so it does not burn while the potatoes roast.
🧺 Ingredients
- 2 pounds red potatoes
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- Fresh parsley for garnish
👩🍳Instructions
- 1
Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.

Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.

Wash the potatoes and cut them into large two inch chunks.
- 4
Place the potatoes in a large bowl and toss them with the olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until they are well coated.
- 5
Spread the potatoes on the prepared baking sheet with the flat sides facing down to ensure they brown nicely.

Remove from the oven and garnish with a little fresh parsley before serving.
💡 Tips
These potatoes are best served immediately while hot and crispy. 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 bring back the crunch.
