Description
Crispy Oven Roasted Potatoes are the golden, crunchy side dish that goes with everything—fluffy centers, crisp edges, and simple pantry seasonings. This easy roasted potatoes recipe uses a hot sheet pan and high heat for restaurant-style texture without deep frying. Pinterest tip: save these crispy roasted potatoes for weeknight dinners, breakfast bowls, holiday sides, and meal prep—add parmesan, herbs, or spicy seasoning to switch it up.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 1/2 lb Yukon Gold or russet potatoes, cut into 1–1 1/2 inch chunks
- 2–3 tbsp olive oil or avocado oil
- 1 1/2 tsp kosher salt, plus more to taste
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp paprika
- 1/2 tsp dried rosemary (crushed) or dried thyme
- Optional finishes: chopped parsley, grated parmesan, lemon wedges
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 450°F (232°C). Place a large rimmed sheet pan in the oven to heat.
- Cut potatoes into even 1–1 1/2 inch chunks. Rinse in cold water for 30 seconds, drain, and pat very dry (or parboil 5–7 minutes, drain, shake to rough edges, and steam-dry).
- Toss potatoes with oil, salt, pepper, garlic powder, paprika, and rosemary.
- Carefully remove hot sheet pan. Spread potatoes in a single layer with space between pieces.
- Roast 20 minutes without disturbing to develop a crust.
- Flip potatoes and roast 15–25 minutes more until deeply golden and crisp.
- Taste and season with an extra pinch of salt if needed. Finish with parsley/parmesan/lemon and serve hot.
Notes
- Dry potatoes and an uncrowded pan are the keys to crispiness—use two pans if needed.
- Parboiling gives extra-crispy, rough edges; quick rinse works great for simpler prep.
- If potatoes brown too fast, reduce oven to 425°F and keep roasting until tender.
- Add fresh garlic only in the last 5–8 minutes to prevent burning.
- Reheat on a sheet pan at 425°F for 8–12 minutes to restore crisp edges.
