I’ve never met a potato I didn’t like. I’m obsessed with all different kinds and these baked red potatoes are no exception. They are so yummy and are cooked to perfection. I also love potato wedges, sweet potato fries, mashed potatoes and a simple baked potato.

This roasted red potatoes recipe is a classic that will become a modern favorite in your monthly rotation. They are so simple to bake and require hardly any clean up. Plus they roast up so nicely and are perfectly golden brown and delicious.

Try to look for the baby red potatoes if you can find them, because they roast more evenly and obtain super crispy. I also sometimes like to add grated parmesan cheese during the last 5 minutes of roasting to dress them up a bit. So tasty!

Cutting the potatoes

I like to buy mini red potatoes because they crisp up nicely and roast more evenly in the oven. To cut them, simply slice each potato in half, then slice the halves in half. You should end up with 4 small slices per mini red potato.

Favorite seasonings

Garlic and parsley are my two favorite spices to use, however there are lots of other yummy options. Check out some seasonings below that would taste delicious.

Baking tips

Spray the pan with nonstick spray so the potatoes don’t stick to the bottom.
Let them dry completely after washing. This ensures they’ll obtain crispy and not soggy.
Dice into smaller, similar sized pieces so they all cook evenly in the oven.
Flip halfway through baking so the potatoes obtain crispy on all sides.
Broil the last minute of cooking to obtain extra crispy potatoes. Keep an eye on them though so they don’t burn!
