Crispy oven roasted potatoes have a fantastic crunchy bite that is balanced with a creamy interior that pops in your mouth. One of my most requested recipes from family and friends which makes sense because they are the bomb of flavor.
As a child, we ate with my grandparents all the time. My Grandfather enjoyed a boiled potato, so, um, boiled potatoes were had by all.
Trust me, there are only so many boiled potatoes one can eat. So my quest began at a young age for a recipe he’d enjoy and stop asking for a boiled potato.
Mission accomplished!
Thus we have my super crunchy and Grandpa approved spuds! The man loved these potatoes and so does everyone who makes them.
With just a few sprinkling of seasonings and a few hits of olive oil, you’ve got a winning side dish. You’ve got yourself a winning side dish every time.

Ingredients Needed:
- potatoes – Yukon, Idaho, red, yellow, Russet all work.
- olive oil – for variety, use avocado or grapeseed.
- onion powder – gives flavor.
- garlic powder – layering flavor
- smoked paprika – a smoky flavor that works so well.
- salt/black pepper – a must for taste.
What are the best potatoes to use to make for oven roasting?
My favorite potatoes for roasting are Idaho, Yukon, red, or fingerling potatoes.
Can any other oil besides olive oil?
Sure, I alternate between olive, avocado, grapeseed oil. I have even used coconut oil with this recipe and it’s delicious!
What is the best temperature to roast the taters?
High heat gives a crispy outside and a soft interior. I recommend 425°f oven temperature for roasting potatoes.
Can I use soft potatoes that have some green on them?
Unfortunately, if they are soft and green, discard them. Those taters are no longer good.
Where is the best place to store raw potatoes?
Store in a cool dry place but not in the fridge. A pantry shelf is good.
Can I use other herbs or variations?
Absolutely! Feel free to experiment! Here are a few options:
- Greek flavor – add some oregano and marjoram for variety.
- Homemade Cajun Seasonings: a delicious homemade blend that enhances the flavor.
- Homemade Seasoning Salt: we use this seasoning often as it is a staple in my pantry and it is always delicious and flavorful.
- Herbes de Provence: a great blend of flavor.
- Italian Seasoning: we use this often and it gives a nice Tuscan flavor.
Pair the Oven Roasted Potatoes with:
Instant Pot Beer Braised Beef: The entire meal would be ready in less than an hour and so tasty.
Grilled Orange Teriyaki Pork Chops: A perfect meal together.
Crispy Baked Drumsticks: Oven-baked and super delicious.
