Sabrina’s Oven Roasted Red Potatoes Recipe
Roasted Red Potatoes have been a favorite of my family’s for many years because cooking with red potatoes is such a breeze! Most people use russet potatoes when making roasted potatoes but mixing it up and using red potatoes can cut down on prep time significantly. I love them because they slice easier than russet potatoes which is a huge help. They also don’t need to be peeled so I just I rub the peels with my hands while washing them and I’m done. And they bake up wonderfully crisp! And best of all, I love how fast and easy these potatoes are, especially if your attention is divided by kids (behind the scenes note: I am typing this up much later than I normally do because…well…kids).

Sabrina’s Tip
Cut the potatoes into evenly sized pieces so they roast at the same rate. This ensures every potato is tender on the inside and beautifully browned on the outside. I highly recommend flipping the potatoes so that the straight edge is on the pan. Don’t waste it on a rounded edge where you’ll get only the tiniest bit of browning. This will make your roasted red potatoes truly roasted crispy brown!

- Asian Flavored: Add ground or fresh (super finely minced) ginger, a touch of sesame oil mixed with canola oil, minced garlic and salt to your roasted red potatoes. Use teriyaki sauce as your dipping sauce.
- Russets: You can use russet potatoes for this recipe but it means you either have to scrub the potatoes really well if you’re keeping the peels on or you have to peel the potatoes.

Great potatoes. Easy and good. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for the 5 stars.
When combining all the ingredients in the bowl for mixing, can you throw in some melted butter too to further help with the flavoring?
If so, how much butter would do the trick?
Certainly. I would do a tbsp of butter and reduce the amount of oil so they aren’t as greasy. Let me know how they turn out if you try it.
These potatoes look like crispy perfection!
These look so inviting. I wish I had this in front of me right now. I love potatoes and red are the perfect pick for this recipe.
Love your tip to “flip them flat!” More golden crispiness all the way around 🙂 These look fab and are perfect as a side to so many things!
