Baby red potatoes were on sale last week so we purchased a 3 lb bag. I stared at them every time I opened my pantry. Today, something amazing happened; this recipe was born.

We applied some of the basics from our previous bacon roasted potatoes (oh dear those were luscious and crisp), but since we were cooking alot today, I wanted something simple and easier.

As soon as they came out of the oven, we drove the baked potatoes over to my parents house. They were both so impressed that they graciously invited us to bring food over more often. Thanks Mom and Dad! 😉

Ingredients for oven roasted baby red potatoes:

3 lbs baby red potatoes, unpeeled
2 Tbsp extra light olive oil
1 1/2 tsp dry parsley
1 tsp sea salt or 3/4 tsp table salt
1/2 tsp freshly ground pepper
2 cloves garlic, pressed

How to make oven roasted potatoes:

1. Cut potatoes into 1″ to 1 1/2″ pieces. We didn’t cut the really tiny taters. Place them in a large pot half full with warm water. Bring potatoes to a boil and cook for 7-9 minutes (they should be almost cooked) Drain, cover to keep warm, and set aside (sorry we totally missed photographing these cute little potatoes before we sliced and cooked them. We were seriously photographing 3 recipes at the same time. My bad.)

2. In a small bowl, mix together 2 Tbsp olive oil, 2 pressed garlic cloves, 1 1/2 tsp dry parsley, 1 tsp sea salt (or 3/4 tsp table salt) and 1/2 tsp black pepper.

3. Gently Toss potatoes with the seasoning mix until evenly coated (it helps to use a large mixing bowl for tossing).

4. Transfer potatoes to a large rimmed, non-stick baking pan and place cut side down. Bake at 425°F for 20 minutes or until  the sides facing the pan are golden. Transfer to a serving bowl, garnish with chopped fresh dill if desired and serve.

    Made this tonight and at first bite the husband started making happy noises and said he loved the perfect saltiness. I loved the flavor of the parsley on the potatoes.

    We make these potatoes a few times a year (usually when we remember to make them or have friends over) and they’re always a HIT. When I ask what my friends want for supper, this tends to be one of their go-tos.

    It’s a great recipe, very easy to follow. I keep over-boiling my potatoes so you get a mix of semi-mashed and boiled, but no one complains and they’re still very delicious! 😀

    These were great the first two times I made them. This time, I asked my wife if I should put some Parmesan cheese on top. She said to go for it. I dumped a bunch on before I put them in the oven. Three people ate almost 1 1/2 lbs of them!

      Yes you could but it’s completely unnecessary to peel them for this recipe and the crisp salty skins are nice in this recipe, but yes it would work to peel them if you wanted to.

    Wow! Natasha! I even did this recipe with Sunday’s leftover baked ROSEMARY potatoes. I simply rinsed them in water and put them in the oven with the recipe. Added leftover chicken as well. Totally gave me a new dish. Thank You, thank you, thank you. (I’M SINGING THAT)

    Awesome recipe! Our friends came over to dinner tonight and I never saw potatoes disappear so fast! We had Rack of Lamb and asparagus and Butternut Squash which, after cooking it we warm it up in the oven to give it a baked flavor! BTW, I added fresh Rosemary to the potato recipe and it was delicious!

    These look delicious I cannot wait to make them!
    I’m making these for guest tomorrow night. I was wondering can you boil the potatoes the night before and them mix everything together and bake the next day?
    Can I cook at 350 and just cook longer? It would be easier to bake the main dish and potatoes at the same time.
    Thanks!

      I think that would work well as a make-ahead option. You might need to bake a few minutes longer since they will be cold out of the fridge, but otherwise everything else should stay the same. Let me know how it goes! 🙂

    I purchased baby white potatoes before finding this recipe and decided to use them anyways. I made a batch a homemade ranch dressing to serve with the potatoes, but they were so good without the dressing it was ignored. What a fantastic recipe! Hubs told me that the potatoes were really good at least four times during our meal. Thanks so much for making the recipe available!

    My kids loved these potatoes! They’re typically picky eaters but they came for seconds. (I added fresh cut cilantro to the mix before I baked it.)

    Hi Natasha,
    Can I ask its possible to skip the steps of boiling the potatoes in water , and roast it straight in the oven ? Does it means to extend the time in the oven ?

    Thanks, Nellyn

      I would definitely extend the time in the oven. I made these potatoes without boiling first: Roasted Potatoes with Bacon. I do like the texture of boiling them first in water and then roasting; they are creamier.
