Make Ahead Oven Roasted Potatoes Recipe

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 kid-approved. 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!

Make the recipe ahead of time

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!

Baking the potatoes

I do give them a turn to make sure they do not stick and they get browned on all sides. About half way through just loosen them up with a spatula. 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!

The oven roasted potatoes recipe goes great with my spiced baked ham recipe, Asian BBQ sandwich recipe, or my city chicken recipe. Or for another great potato recipe try my pommes anna recipe!

FAQ’s

Yes! Yukon Gold, red potatoes, or even russets work well—just keep the pieces uniform in size.

Can I prep these roasted potatoes ahead of time?

Absolutely. Toss them in oil and seasonings, store in a sealed bag in the fridge, and bake when ready. I would not go more than a day ahead.

How do I get the potatoes crispy?

Make sure the oven is fully preheated, don’t overcrowd the pan, and flip them partway through.
