Spread on a rimmed baking sheet; bake at 425° for 30 minutes.

Best potatoes for roasting:

The best answer is whatever kind you like best! I prefer using mini potatoes because the flavor tends to be more concentrated, and I find they have a great texture for roasting. You can use mini red potatoes (also called new potatoes), fingerling potatoes, or a petite mixture like the ones I used. Most grocery stores have a wide variety to choose from.

Recipe variations:

The sky’s the limit when it comes to seasoning potatoes. Feel free to use similar seasonings to your main dishes OR whatever you might have in your spice cabinet! Here are some popular choices:

Rosemary
Oregano
Thyme
Parsley
Basil
Parmesan cheese
Paprika

Best temperature for roasting potatoes:

I find that the BEST temperature is 450°, as it allows the outside to become nice and crispy while the inside remains tender and fluffy. If you prefer yours less crispy, feel free to lower the temperature to 400° or 425°.

How long do you roast potatoes?

350° : 35 minutes
400° : 30 minutes
425° : 25-30 minutes
450° : 20-25 minutes
