Follow these straightforward steps to make oven roasted potatoes that are perfectly crispy on the outside and tender inside. This easy side dish uses simple ingredients and fresh herbs for maximum flavor.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 lbs Russet or Yukon Gold potatoes, scrubbed and cut into 1.5-inch pieces
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 4 cloves garlic, smashed

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit. Place the cut potatoes in a large bowl.
  2. In a separate small bowl, mix the olive oil, kosher salt, black pepper, dried rosemary, and garlic powder.
  3. Pour the oil mixture over the potatoes and toss them well until every piece is evenly coated.
  4. Spread the seasoned potatoes in a single layer on a large, rimmed baking sheet. Do not overcrowd the pan; use two sheets if necessary for best crispiness.
  5. Place the smashed garlic cloves among the potatoes on the baking sheet.
  6. Roast for 20 minutes. Remove the pan from the oven and carefully flip the potatoes using a spatula.
  7. Return the pan to the oven and roast for another 15 to 20 minutes, or until the potatoes are golden brown and crispy on the outside and easily pierced with a fork.
  8. Remove from the oven and serve immediately as your easy roasted potato side dish.

Notes

  • For the best results when making crispy roasted potatoes, ensure your oven is fully preheated before the potatoes go in.
  • Do not skip the single-layer arrangement; overcrowding leads to steaming, not roasting.
  • If you want extra flavor, toss the hot potatoes with a sprinkle of grated Parmesan cheese after they come out of the oven.
