Roasted potatoes are the perfect side dish for any meal, whether you’re cooking for your family or hosting a dinner party. They’re easy to make, versatile, and always delicious. Here’s how to make them so mouthwatering that everyone will be asking for seconds.
Ideal Potatoes
To start, choose the right type of potato. Yukon Gold or red potatoes work well for roasting, as they have a creamy texture and a slightly sweet flavor. Cut them into bite-sized pieces, leaving the skin on for extra flavor and nutrients.
Prepping It
Preheat your oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Toss the potatoes with olive oil, salt, and pepper, and any other seasonings you like, such as rosemary or thyme. Spread them out on the baking sheet in a single layer, making sure there’s plenty of space between each piece.
Roasting Them
Roast the potatoes for about 25-35 minutes, or until they’re golden brown and tender. Turn them over once or twice during cooking to ensure they cook evenly on all sides. Serve them hot out of the oven with a sprinkle of fresh herbs or a dollop of sour cream.
