How to Roast Potatoes

With as much as I loved oven, making oven-roasted potatoes is so incredibly simple that it’s my go-to side dish!

My mom taught me to soak cut potatoes if time allows, this removes some of the starch and helps them to crisp while being fluffy inside. Be sure to dry them well before you add the olive oil so they roast instead of steam!!

1.Wash potatoes and cut into 1″ cubes.

2.Soak in cold water about 15-20 minutes (optional).

3.Preheat the oven to a very hot temperature.

4.Add olive oil, seasonings, and rosemary and roast until tender.

How Long to Roast

The great thing about making roasted potatoes is that you can roast them at pretty much any temperature and they’re much quicker to bake.  I find a higher temperature give the best results for a crispy exterior and a fluffy interior.

What Temperature to Roast Potatoes

I most often roast potatoes at 425°F as I love how it crisps the outside.  Depending on what else you have going in the oven, you can cook potatoes at a lower temp if needed (but you may need a longer baking time).

The following cook times are for 1″ potato cubes:

• Bake at 350°F for 45-50 minutes.
• Bake at 375°F for 35-40 minutes.
• Bake at 400°F for 30 minutes.
• Bake at 450°F for 20-25 minutes.

After above, the Rosemary Roasted Potatoes has been finished. So quick and so easy.

Enjoy growing, enjoy cooking, enjoy life.
