Quick and Easy to Make
This Potato Recipe is quick and easy to make. You can have them ready in no time following these simple steps: Cut up potatoes into bite-sized pieces, toss with some olive oil and seasonings, and bake until golden brown and perfectly crispy.
Here's What You Need
Potato Types Good for Roasting
We recommend Yukon Gold for this Potato Recipe. They are our go-to potato choice around here. We find them to be a good middle of the road potato. Not too creamy. Not too starchy. The perfect balance.
Yukon Gold Potatoes - Firm texture, yet still creamy. They crisp up really nicely when roasted.
Red Skinned Potatoes - Thinner skinned potato with a very soft and creamy texture. Common choice for boiled preparations.
Russet Potatoes - More on the starchy side when compared to Yukon Gold. So less creamy in texture. The most common form of potato. Great choice for just about any potato recipe.
How to Serve
- Serve with ketchup, obviously.
- Loaded with bacon bits, cheddar cheese, chives, and sour cream.
- With garlic and herbs.
- Brats and burgers.
- Steak and eggs.
- In a breakfast skillet with scrambled eggs, sautéed spinach and mushrooms, and Tabasco.
It's as easy as that! We hope you enjoy our super simple, super tasty recipe for an easy side dish every time! Try it and let us know how you like it. We'd love to hear from you!

Notes
Pro Tip for Crispy Potatoes: Salt the potatoes just before baking. Salt will draw out water from the potatoes. So, be careful not to salt them too early or the water drawn out by the salt will cause the potatoes to steam instead of crisp up when you bake them.
Make Ahead Tip: Oven Roasted Potatoes are crispiest and tastiest when served immediately. So, we do not recommend making them with the intention of reheating them. However, there are a few things you can do to prep ahead of time.
Cut up potatoes and store them covered in water in a bowl in the refrigerator until you are ready to bake them. You can do this step a day ahead. Then drain them in a colander, tapping the colander once or twice to bang out excess moisture before you move on to the next step in the recipe and add the olive oil and seasonings.
