How to Prepare Oven Roasted Red Potatoes
Ingredients for Oven Roasted Red Potatoes:
- 2 lbs of halved red potatoes
- About 1/3 cup of quality olive oil

Directions for Oven Roasted Red Potatoes:

Can I use a different type of potato?
Yes, while red potatoes offer a unique texture and flavor, you can also experiment with Yukon gold or russet potatoes.
How do I ensure the potatoes are crispy?
For a crispier finish, you can increase the temperature to 400°F during the last 20 minutes of roasting.
Is there an alternative to dry onion flavor seasoning?
Absolutely! Some prefer using a savory garlic and herb mix. Feel free to experiment with your favorite seasonings.
How can I store leftovers?
Store any leftover roasted potatoes in an airtight container in the refrigerator. They should last up to 3 days.
Can I prepare this ahead of time for a gathering?
Yes, you can coat the potatoes a day in advance and store them in the fridge. When you’re ready, just pop them in the oven.
What other vegetables can I add?
Carrots complement the dish very well. Some even prefer a mix of red potatoes and baby carrots for a colorful twist.
