About this Recipe

I love garlicky potatoes like my super popular Garlic Mashed Potatoes (which I made with Red Potatoes btw), the mixture of garlic and red potatoes are heavenly.

A super secret combo I love is my favorite juicy chicken with this Garlic Roasted Red Potatoes recipe topped with my secret copycat recipe for Zankou Garlic Paste. I like to stuff it into pita pockets *carbs on carbs are a win to me* and eat them along side a Greek salad.

Chef’s Note

These garlic potatoes last well in the fridge, and they’re incredibly easy to reheat and serve up. All you need to perk them up is a little unsalted butter: just put some on and pop them in the microwave until they’re heated through.

How To Store

  • Serve: You shouldn’t leave Garlic Roasted Red Potatoes out at room temperature for longer than 2 hours.
  • Store: You can store your potatoes in the fridge for up to a week as long as they are properly sealed up in an airtight container.
  • Freeze: You can freeze your cooked potatoes for up to 10 months. Always allow the potatoes to completely cool down to room temperature before you freeze them.

Frequent Questions

Are red potatoes good for baking?

Yes, red potatoes, like most potatoes are great for baking. You can make them even crispier if you soak them in water for 20 minutes and dry them well before making the recipe to remove additional amounts of starch.

Do you peel red potatoes before roasting?

Red potatoes, like Yukon Potatoes do not need to be peeled before baking. A good wash and scrub before prepping is all you need, the skin of the potato is thin enough and will add to the crispiness of the potatoes.

What nutrients are in red potatoes?

Red Potatoes are a good source of Vitamin C, Vitamin B6, Potassium, Iron, Folate and other important nutrients like Magnesium and Niacin. Eaten as part of a well balanced diet they are a good nutritional option instead of potatoes like Russet potatoes but aren’t the nutritional powerhouse that Sweet Potatoes are.

Are roasted red potatoes healthy?

Yes, red potatoes can be part of a healthy diet provided you leave the skin on while eating them. Much of the nutritional value is found in the skin of the potato which is why these are healthier than a Russet potato.

Are red potatoes healthier than regular potatoes?

Yes, red potatoes are healthier than Russet potatoes because you can eat the skin of the potato where the nutritional value is found. While people sometimes eat russet potato skins they are almost always removed leaving behind mostly empty carbohydrates.

Variations

  • Spices: You can change up the flavor of your red potatoes by simply changing what spices you put on them, without having to rework the whole meal. Try adding a dash of paprika, oregano, fresh parsley, Italian seasoning, black pepper, or even a little nutmeg to make your Roasted Garlic Red Potatoes even more yummy.
  • Cut them into slices: You could slice the potatoes differently like in my Scalloped Potatoes recipe, kids love different shapes of food.
