Crispy Garlic Roasted Potatoes are a super simple side dish perfect with anything!
Buttery, garlicky, fluffy inside with crisp, golden edges… these roasted potatoes tick all my boxes! No need for bowls or pans when you can prepare AND cook your potatoes on ONE PAN!
OVEN ROASTED POTATOES
A fool-proof recipe, roasted potatoes are a simply delicious side dish that goes with anything! From Roast Chicken to a great Steak! Feel free to get creative with seasonings and herbs you have on hand.
- The amount of garlic used in this recipe is adaptable to your preference. Use less or more!
- I use sea salt on these. There’s something abut granular salt on potatoes that I love. Try not to use table salt if you can. Kosher salt is good too.
- If you don’t like parsley, you can use fresh chopped rosemary, thyme, even basil. Dried herbs would work just as well, but go easy. I usually use 2 teaspoons.
With minimal ingredients and maximum flavour, everyone will love these potatoes!
WHAT KIND OF POTATOES ARE BEST FOR ROAST POTATOES?
You can use ANY kind of potato for roasting! You can use white potatoes, red potatoes, baby potatoes, russets, Yukon gold, brushed, or even roasted sweet potatoes… they’re all delicious!
Whether you peel potatoes before roasting or prefer them with the skin on, I’ll leave it completely up to you. Personally, I love the look, flavour and texture of roasted red and Yukon gold potatoes with skin-on, but prefer peeled when roasting simple white potatoes.
If using baby potatoes, simply slice them in half to let the seasoning coat them evenly.
HOW LONG TO ROAST POTATOES
For crispy potatoes, I prefer to roast them at a higher temperature for the best, golden results: normally at 400°F (200°C) for 45-55 minutes, while turning them a couple of times to ensure they crisp up all over.
Or use the following reference as a guide for your personal preference:
- 350°F (175°C): 65-75 minutes.
- 375°F (190°C): 55-65 minutes.
- 400°F (200°C): 45-55 minutes.
- 450°F (230°C): 35-45 minutes.
WHAT TO SERVE WITH ROASTED POTATOES
ANYTHING goes! Prime rib roast, pork tenderloin, salmon, chicken parmesan, ribs or a perfect beef brisket!
For something extra, top them with sour cream, crispy diced bacon, chives or green onions, cheese, chopped tomatoes… or slow cooker pulled pork!

These came out amazing! Thank you!
Brenda says
Best potatoes ever. We poured the juice from the jar the minced garlic came in all over the potatoes before cooking them and tossed them a couple times before end of cooking time and I can’t believe how good they were. My grandson wants them everyday. Thank you and we will be enjoying this recipe forever. ❤️🔥
Dominique says
Very delicious and they turned out great!
They were a little bit too salty for me, so I suggest adding 1 3/4 teaspoon instead.
To make it easier, I also suggest just mixing the oil, garlic, salt and pepper in a separate bowl and toss the potatoes with it before transferring to a baking tray.

Great job! My family loves this recipe.

Our high speed version of this is:
Slice the potatoes about ¼ inch thick
Microwave the slices, fully cooked.
Oil the potatoes in the microwave dish and sprinkle with Herbs de Provence
Don’t use the oven, fry them a in non stick skillet. Besides browning them much faster, frying brown them more evenly. When almost done, add more oil & finely chopped garlic and toss the potatoes in the garlic flavored oil
