I often serve potatoes alongside our meals. Some of my family’s favorite potato side dish recipes include baked potato wedges, crock pot mashed potatoes and these super flavorful oven roasted potatoes. You can never go wrong with potatoes – they’re inexpensive, nutritious, filling and of course, delicious. These oven roasted potatoes are easy to make, yet full of savory flavors.
Oven Roasted Potatoes Ingredients
To make this recipe, you will need baby potatoes, olive oil, garlic, kosher salt, black pepper, Italian seasoning, parmesan cheese and fresh parsley.
How Do You Make Oven Roasted Potatoes?
Cut the potatoes in half, then toss them in a mixture of olive oil, Italian seasoning, garlic, parmesan cheese, salt and pepper. Place the potatoes in a single layer on a sheet pan. Roast the potatoes until they’re golden brown and tender, which takes about 35-40 minutes. Sprinkle fresh parsley over the finished dish, then serve and enjoy.
Tips For The Perfect Potatoes
If you don’t have baby potatoes, feel free to use larger potatoes that have been cut into 1 1/2 inch pieces. You can also cut larger potatoes into wedges to make baked french fries. I find that this dish is best served immediately, as the potatoes will soften over time as they cool. Any leftovers will stay fresh in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. You can reheat your potatoes on the stove top or in the oven until crispy for 10-15 minutes. Serve your potatoes alongside main course options such as beef coated in London broil marinade, Instant Pot whole chicken, stuffed bell peppers, smoked chicken breast and seared ahi tuna. You can use other seasonings to mix things up a bit including Cajun seasoning, a little cayenne pepper for heat, garlic powder, smoked paprika, seasoned salt or even chili powder.
Flavor Variations
Herbs: Instead of parsley, you can use fresh chopped dill, thyme, chives or basil. Cheese: Like your potatoes extra cheesy? Add a handful of shredded mozzarella, Monterey Jack or cheddar cheese during the last 5 minutes of the baking time. Veggies: Add other veggies to the roasting pan such as sweet potatoes, sliced carrots, parsnips, red onions or brussels sprouts. Flavorings: Sprinkle on some extra flavor at the end by adding cooked crumbled bacon, olives or sun dried tomatoes. Protein: Turn this into a main course by adding sliced cooked sausage to the pan such as smoked chicken apple sausage or kielbasa.
This dish is quick and easy enough to prepare on a busy weeknight, but elegant looking with the baby potatoes so you can even serve it to company!
