It’s roasted vegetable season!

Now, I’ll be the first to admit that I absolutely love potatoes cooked any and all ways. BUT. Roasted potatoes are just the best. The bee’s knees. The cat’s pajamas.

ANYWAY. These potatoes are one of the very first things that I learned to make in the kitchen and they have remained a total staple oh so many years later.

They’re crispy, creamy and filled with herb-y goodness.

They are also downright addictive, incredibly easy to pull together and classic enough to go with just about anything.

And when you get to scrape those super crispy bits from the warm baking sheet and shove them straight into your mouth?

Pure potato happiness.

Tips & Tricks For These Roasted Red Potatoes

  1. You could absolutely use any combo of herbs you would like here. Think of this recipe more as a base to customize to your heart’s content.
  2. Be sure to use a spatula to scrape / toss the potatoes while they are baking. They do stick a bit to the pan and the spatula works much better here than a wooden spoon.
  3. These taters are definitely best enjoyed freshly made. For that crisp factor! However, they absolutely still taste great as leftovers (it’s just that the crispness does disappear).
  4. One last suggestion. These potatoes + these sweet and spicy green beans? The BEST simple side dish combo.
