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.
Simple and oh so flavorful. You’re gonna love this!

Natasha, thank you for your many recipes. You have become my go to girl for every recipe.
These potatoes are wonderful, but my favorite use for them is to take the left-overs, dice them, and fry in butter for the perfect breakfast potatoes.
Thank you and Happy Thanksgiving. Oh, your sweet potato casserole recipe got here just in time. Having it for dinner today.
Hello Howard, thank you for trusting my recipes. That sounds wonderful too. I hope you enjoyed your dinner! Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family.
Taste amazing! You’re my favorite place to go for recipes!
Thank you so much, Janeane. I appreciate it!
I also add 1 packet of onion soup mix to the oil mix, and it’s great!
That’s just awesome! Thank you for sharing your wonderful review!
I make these with garlic and dill they are delicious.
I’m so happy to hear that Mary!
You answered yes to the question of boiling ahead of time and roasting at meal time. I’m going to try this because I’m making them for breakfast.
Should I toss them in the olive oil, garlic, etc when they are warm from boiling or in the morning when they are cold before putting them in the oven?
Hi Sarah, sorry about that. I would wait to season them until before putting them in the oven.
Best way ive ever made potatoes. They were great after just seasoning. I decided to grill instead of bake because i already had the grill on (to not heat house). They were awesome
I’m so glad you enjoyed this recipe, Eli! Thank you for that wonderful review!
