Easy Herb Roasted Potatoes Recipe Ingredients
- Ruby Red potatoes (or your favorite small red potatoes)
- Olive oil
- Fresh garlic, grated
- Salt
- Black pepper
- Fresh or dried parsley
- Grated Parmesan cheese
Recipe Instructions
- Start by preheating your oven to 400 degrees F. This temperature ensures the potatoes will get crispy on the outside while staying tender and fluffy inside.
- No need to wash your potatoes if you’re using Tasteful Selections, as they come pre-washed. Simply cut each potato in half.
- In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine grated garlic, salt, black pepper, parsley, and Parmesan cheese. Toss the potato halves in the mixture, ensuring each piece is well-coated with the seasoning.
- Arrange the seasoned potato halves on a baking sheet, cut side down. Roast them in the preheated oven for about 40 minutes, flipping them once or twice to get an even golden-brown color.
- Once the potatoes are roasted to perfection, remove them from the oven and transfer them to a serving dish. Sprinkle a little extra Parmesan cheese and parsley on top for added flavor and presentation.

Tips for Success

- Flipping the potatoes halfway through cooking ensures they get evenly crispy all over.
- These potatoes are best enjoyed straight out of the oven when they’re hot and crispy.

Can I use other types of potatoes for this recipe?
Absolutely! While Ruby Red Potatoes are recommended for their size and flavor, you can also use Yukon Gold, baby potatoes, or even fingerling potatoes. Just make sure to adjust the roasting time if the potatoes are larger.
Can I make this recipe ahead of time?

How can I make the potatoes extra crispy?
