Roasted Potatoes Recipe

Roasted potatoes make the perfect dish with so many meals! Three ingredients make these roasted potatoes so simple to throw together on a busy weeknight, yet still scrumptious enough when entertaining.
These roasted potatoes happen fairly often at my house. Most likely because they are so easy to prepare on those busy weeknights that we all have way too frequently. It doesn’t hurt that I can always count on them to be one of the first things to disappear as well. Everyone loves them with their crisp outer edges and soft, tender centers.
Made with large potatoes that I’ve scrubbed, a drizzle of olive oil and a healthy sprinkle of salt, these roasted potatoes are fast and fabulous! My son actually requests them now, especially if he has friends coming over that will be eating supper with us. All of his friends love them, but I absolutely love it when they make requests!
They also love them as their breakfast potatoes, too! Served them sausage, eggs, and cheese grits, biscuits, with these potatoes and those boys are super quiet for a little bit!
If you want to jazz these babies up, serve them with a sprinkle of spices like my Cajun spice mix. Oh my goodness! You can also serve them with a sprinkle of fresh herbs like rosemary or thyme when they are fresh out of the oven or with a side of sour cream mixed with fresh chives and scallions, which is always delicious. Or, you could just serve them as simply as possible, like my son likes them. Either way, just watch them disappear!
Here’s my simple roasted potatoes recipe. I think you’ll love them!

This recipe sounds good and easy. I would probably use a little garlic salt or onion salt in place of regular salt. Plan to give it try soon.
I’m guilty of eating solely roast potatoes as a meal on more than one occasion. So simple and so perfect!
Love the ease and simplicity and yes their crisp outer edges and soft, tender centers is where it’s at! pinned
I just love finding “good,simple” recipes and this certainly is one of those. Thank you for all you share. I may learn to cook yet!
My husband wants steak and potatoes tonight (it’s 38ºF, clearly time to grill), and I’m making these for the potato option. They look like perfection.
Roasted potatoes are my fave! Love that these are sliced for extra crispiness.
They look pretty tasty…going to cut mine this way next time too!
I love the cut on these too! Perfect 🙂
Oh I love the cut on these! My kids would devour them, and so would I!
So easy and they make a great side dish! Thanks for sharing.
