Oven Roasted Red Potatoes
Oven Roasted Red Potatoes has golden-brown, crispy exterior with a tender, fluffy inside. This humble potato recipe transforms basic ingredients into a dish that feels homey and so flavorful. For the everyday to the holiday, this is a ‘sure thing’ when it comes to a potato side dish.
Right now the season is shifting to cooler, darker days – and so our need grows for comforting surrounding, clothing and foods.
This time of year I love comfort meals that are oven-cooked. As much as I love the ease of cooking with the slow cooker or skillet, I love when the house is heated with the warmth of the oven. The smells filling the air for hours.
This Oven Roasted Red Potatoes Recipe is a potato side dish that can be served with any main meat course. Red Potatoes are so delicious and adds some colour to an otherwise drab white potato.
Potatoes are a perfect side to a hearty meal. For another spin on a potato recipe, give my Crispy Oven Rosemary Balsamic Potatoes recipe a try! This is another one of my favourite side dish recipes, and we love to pair it with Classic Potato Salad.
Give it a try, paired with Roasted Parmesan Green Beans and especially on special occasions with this Slow Cooker Brown Sugar Pineapple Ham. YUM!
This recipe makes for a delicious side dish to most any main dishes from roasts, chicken, steak and even pork tenderloin. Even when making Stove Top Stuffing Stuffed Chicken Breast Recipe for an easy weeknight meal, these potatoes pair nicely.

Tips for Success
How to Make Oven Roasted Potatoes
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
- After scrubbing and dicing the potatoes {leave the skin on}, place them in a bowl and allow them to sit in cold water for 30 minutes prior to roasting.
- Add the olive oil and seasonings to a large zip-top bag or a large bowl.
- Pat the potatoes dry and place potatoes in the bag with the olive oil and seasonings. Shake well to coat the potatoes.
- place in a single layer (or even layer) into a baking dish or sheet pan. Any rimmed baking sheet will do. Then bake for 25-30 minutes in the preheated oven. They are done when forkable and golden brown.
- Serve and enjoy! These are great with some fresh chives and sour cream.
From simple baked chicken breasts to a delicious roast, this is a side dish that partners with everything!
What to Serve with Oven Roasted Potatoes
It’s especially nice when I have the meat in the slow cooker, such as a whole chicken, and can cook the potatoes in the oven, and vegetables on the stove. Some say it’s too many steps but it’s all in the timing.
If you are looking for new and amazing recipes, I suggest you try these Pesto Cheese Stuffed Chicken Rolls or our Slow Cooker Apricot Chicken Recipe.
We don’t eat too many potatoes in the summer months, instead I usually opt for salads and veggies. Perhaps only a few times through the warmer months with steak and the occasional classic potato salad.
Yet in the Fall and Winter months, crispy potatoes are made more often and paired with many mains from roast to our best chicken recipes such as Grilled Greek Chicken.
I always make more potato recipes in the fall and winter, versus the other seasons of the year. These potatoes are an easy side dish with Pepper Jelly Cranberry Glazed Ham.
Well, my friends, bookmark this one because this oven roasted potatoes recipe is absolute perfection! It’s become one of the most popular side dishes on this blog, and for great reason!
Storing, Reheating & Freezing Instructions
Storing: Store leftover potatoes in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Reheat gently in the oven or a skillet to keep them crispy instead of soggy.
Freezing: Allow roasted potatoes to cool completely before placing them in airtight containers or freezer bags. Freeze for up to 2 months. Reheat in a preheated oven at 375°F to regain some of the original crispness.
Recipe FAQ
Make sure to dry the potatoes thoroughly before tossing with oil, and roast in a preheated oven at a high temperature with space between pieces for maximum crispness.
Yes, but keep in mind that starchy potatoes like russet potatoes or yukon golds may become fluffier and less firm, while waxy potatoes hold their shape better in roasting.

Thanks for the great recipe! I love cooking with red potatoes! They have the best texture!
I love the spices that you chose for this! Red potatoes are so tasty that I usually just go simple with butter, salt and pepper but I’ll have to try this too!
Yum, definitely will be making these
Thank you for the reminder – time to get back to roasted potatoes! I also prefer the red once. But I always peel them. I know, all the nutrients are there, under the skin, but so is all the bad stuff, especially if they are not organic. I also want to make sure they are not green. I guess, mostly it’s a cultural thing though, Ive never seen anyone eating potatoes with skin until we moved to Canada 🙂
This is what we’re having for supper tonight. Thanks for the recipe.
