Ingredients
Instructions
- In a shallow baking dish (large enough to hold potatoes in a single layer), toss new potatoes with vegetable oil.
- Bake in a preheated 400° oven, stirring often, until the potatoes are crisp and browned, about 40 to 45 minutes.
- Season to taste, then toss. Sprinkle potatoes with minced chives and serve immediately.
Tips & Substitutions
For extra flavor, consider adding garlic cloves or fresh herbs like rosemary or thyme when tossing the potatoes with oil. If you want to make this dish vegan, the recipe is already suitable as is. Adjust the cooking time based on the size of your potatoes; smaller ones may take less time to crisp up. Ensure they are evenly spaced on the baking dish for uniform cooking.
Serving Suggestions
These oven-crisped new potatoes make a delightful side dish for grilled meats or roasted vegetables. They pair beautifully with Asparagus Tomato Salad for a fresh contrast. Consider serving them with a dollop of sour cream or a sprinkle of your favorite cheese for added richness. Enjoy them as part of a hearty brunch alongside Goofy Cake for a satisfying meal.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover potatoes in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, spread them out on a baking sheet and place them in a preheated oven at 375°F for about 10-15 minutes until heated through and crispy again. Avoid microwaving, as it can make them soggy.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use other types of potatoes for this recipe?
Yes, while red skinned new potatoes provide a great texture and flavor, you can substitute them with other waxy potatoes like fingerlings or Yukon Golds. Just keep in mind that cooking times may vary slightly depending on the type and size of the potatoes used.
How do I ensure the potatoes get crispy?
To achieve crispiness, make sure to coat the potatoes evenly with oil and spread them out in a single layer on the baking dish. Stirring them halfway through baking helps promote even browning. Avoid overcrowding the pan, as this can lead to steaming rather than crisping.
What seasonings work well with these potatoes?
In addition to salt and pepper, you can experiment with various spices such as paprika, garlic powder, or onion powder to enhance the flavor. Fresh herbs like parsley, dill, or chives added at the end can also brighten up the dish. Feel free to customize the seasoning to your taste!
