Ingredients
Instructions
- In a large baking pan, toss potatoes with garlic, olive oil, and herbs.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Roast in a preheated 500°F oven, stirring once, for 30 minutes.
Tips & Substitutions
For extra flavor, consider adding a splash of lemon juice or zest before roasting. If you don't have fresh herbs, dried herbs can work in a pinch—just use about a third of the amount. You can also swap red potatoes for Yukon Gold or fingerling potatoes for a different texture. Make sure to cut the potatoes into even sizes for uniform cooking.
Serving Suggestions
These roasted potatoes are a versatile side dish that pairs beautifully with grilled meats or fish. Serve alongside a Simple Salad Elegante for a refreshing contrast. They also complement Mediterranean recipes well, making them ideal for a hearty meal or picnic. Consider serving with a dollop of sour cream or yogurt for added richness.
Storage & Reheating
Store leftover roasted potatoes in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, spread them on a baking sheet and warm in a 400°F oven for about 10-15 minutes, allowing them to crisp up again. They can also be reheated in a skillet over medium heat.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use other types of potatoes for this recipe?
Yes, you can substitute red potatoes with Yukon Gold, fingerling, or even sweet potatoes. Just keep in mind that different potatoes may have different cooking times and textures, so adjust accordingly.
What can I do if I don't have fresh herbs?
If fresh herbs aren't available, you can use dried herbs instead. Just remember that dried herbs are more concentrated, so use about one-third of the amount. Italian seasoning is also a great alternative for an herb blend.
How do I make these potatoes extra crispy?
To achieve extra crispy potatoes, ensure that they are well-coated in olive oil and spread out in a single layer on the baking sheet. Stirring them once during roasting helps to brown all sides evenly. You can also try broiling them for the last few minutes for an additional crunch.
