Oven roasted potatoes are a go-to side dish when you’re short on time but still want big flavor. Ready in just 40 minutes, they’re crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, and they are kid-approved. The crispy potatoes that can be dipped like french fries make them kid friendly. Whether you’re serving a crowd or just your family, they’re perfect alongside ham, sandwiches, or city chicken. You can even prep them in advance to save time on busy days!
Prep Ahead: Your Guide to Make-Ahead Roasted Potatoes
I have started the oven roasted potatoes recipe the morning of the meal I needed them for. This is a handy time saver. I just got filled gallon sized bags about 3/4 of the way full with potatoes and added the other ingredients. Then I sealed the bag and massaged the potatoes with the oil and spices. Just make sure to do it a bit gently so the bag does not open up and make a mess. The bags will store well in your refrigerator for a few hours. When you are ready to bake them, just line some baking pans and spread the oiled and spiced potatoes out on the tray and bake!
Simple Steps for Expertly Roasted Potatoes
Bake the potatoes at 375 degrees F for 25 minutes. I do give them a turn after 15 minutes to make sure they do not stick and they get browned on all sides. It does not have to be exact but give them a shuffle on the pan to ensure even cooking.
This is a great last minute recipe that I use when I am in a pinch. I hope it helps your last minute needs also!
