These Oven Roasted Baby Red Potatoes are crisp on the outside and perfectly seasoned. Great potato side dish for any menu. This recipe impressed my parents.

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.

    Any chance they could be made ahead and reheated? The recipe sounds wonderful!

      Hi Del, I think these are always best fresh, but you could do that and re-heat them in a skillet or the oven (not in the microwave) to keep them crisp. I’ve cooked them a day ahead and refrigerated and did the oven step just before my dinner started. But yes you can make the whole thing a day ahead and reheat.

    Natasha,

    Love this recipe, but usually make it the same night I’m serving. Can this be made a day ahead and served the next day or will the potatoes lose their crisp texture?

    Dear Natasha,

    I found your website a few weeks ago, and this was the first of your recipes I have prepared. I followed your recipe exactly, and the method is perfectly foolproof. These little chunks of crispy potato deliciousness were the highlight of the whole meal! I already like you and am a fan. I subscribed to your newsletter the very next day. I am going to make your chicken tetrazzini this weekend.

    Best wishes,

    Kat B.

    Magnificent! I made this dish tonight, and everyone loved it. The potatoes were perfectly tender, moist, browned, seasoned…yum! For years I have been trying to find the perfect roasted potato recipe, and this is it. This recipe was incredibly easy to make and tasted like a million bucks. Thank you for another fabulous recipe, Natasha!

    I used your cooking method (boiling and baking) for my breakfast potatoes. I used spices I prefer but I do believe that boiling makes them taste better. I’ve never done it before and was reluctant because it takes longer and I am using these potatoes for make-ahead breakfast bowls. They definitely came out great! Thanks so much!

      Hi Barb, I think that would work fine as a make-ahead option the way you are describing. You might need to roast a couple minutes longer if you are starting with chilled potatoes going into the oven. I hope you love the recipe!

    Hi Natasha, mine came out too mushy I would say. Did I overboil or did not leave in the oven long enough? The outside is crispy but the inside tastes too soft.

      Hi Victoria, usually too mushy inside means the potatoes were likely overboiled. I would suggest boiling less next time – you should be able to pierce them with a knife fairly easily but they should not fall apart when you poke them. I hope that helps! 🙂

    Hello! I’ve made this dish several times, and every time it is absolutely amazing! 🙂 I want to roast some potatoes this week, but all I have is baby yukon gold potatoes. Will this same recipe work? Thanks in advance!

    Can you make these potatoes without boiling them for 7 min?

    If so, how long just in the oven?

      Hi Izzy, without pre-boiling, you will want to roast at a lower temp (400˚F) for about 40 minutes to 1 hour, depending on their thickness.
