Chef's Notes and Tips
- Choosing Potatoes: While I've used white potatoes in this recipe, feel free to experiment with other varieties like red, russet, Yukon gold, or yellow potatoes. These are all excellent choices for oven baking.
- Seasoning: Basic garlic and spice seasoning has been used here, but don't hesitate to try your favorite seasoning blends to personalize the flavor.
- Fresh Herbs: Enhance the dish by incorporating fresh herbs. Italian herbs such as basil, thyme, rosemary, parsley, or cilantro are great options to elevate the taste and aroma.
- For Crispier Potatoes: For extra crispiness, soak your chopped potatoes in water for 30 minutes to reduce starch. Remember to pat them dry thoroughly before seasoning
- Roasting Temperature: For a perfectly crispy exterior and fluffy interior, roasting at a high temperature is key. However, feel free to adjust the temperature and cooking time to suit your preferences.

Storage Suggestions

Roasting Time and Temperature for Potatoes
The key to achieving potatoes with a crispy exterior and soft interior lies in the baking temperature. Here's a guide to roasting times at various temperatures:
- 350°F (175°C): Roast the potatoes for 40 to 50 minutes.
- 375°F (190°C): Roast for 30 to 45 minutes.
- 400°F (205°C): This is my usual setting, roasting the potatoes for 25 to 30 minutes until they turn golden and crispy.
- 425°F (220°C): Roast for 20 to 25 minutes.
Note: It's essential to preheat the oven to your chosen temperature to ensure it's hot enough for even cooking. This prevents undercooked potatoes. Remember, the actual baking time can vary depending on the size of the potato chunks and their freshness.
How to make Red Roasted Potatoes?
Creating Red Roasted Potatoes in the oven is quite similar to the traditional method, with a few delightful twists.

While the garlic seasoning mix is a great fit for Red Roasted Potatoes, feel free to experiment with other flavorings for a unique twist.
Consider trying these variations for an extra burst of flavor:
- Toss Red Potatoes in a garlic butter sauce for a rich, savory taste.
- cajun seasoning adds a spicy kick.
- Curry powder gives a unique, aromatic flavor.
