We make these fantastic potatoes at home almost all the time. Whether it’s with fish, schnitzels, or a lovely pork tenderloin, this side dish is always a hit. I can even eat them on their own. It’s a classic that should be a staple in every kitchen!
How to Make the Best Oven-Roasted Potatoes
The great thing about this recipe is that you only need a few ingredients:
- Potatoes
- Salt and spices
- Olive oil and butter
- Herbs for finishing
It’s obvious that you need potatoes. But which type should you choose at the store? I recommend waxy potatoes (type B), sometimes labeled as universal. They hold their character well after roasting.
There’s no need to pre-cook the potatoes. In a recipe for roasted beetroot with potatoes, bacon, and cheese, I did pre-cook the beetroot. It’s also a very tasty dish that I recommend.
Roasted Potatoes with Skin
Peel or not to peel? Don’t worry about peeling the potatoes. Just wash them, scrub lightly, and dry them well.
Potatoes are an excellent source of minerals and vitamins. Many vitamins are actually found in the skin. The skin contains potassium, magnesium, and nearly 12 times more antioxidants than the potato flesh.
Roasted Potatoes with Butter
When you spread the prepared potatoes on the baking sheet, place pieces of butter among them. The butter will add amazing flavor and extra crispiness to the edges.
Then just place the potatoes in the oven and wait for the best roasted potatoes. Once they’re done, sprinkle them with fresh parsley or other herbs you have on hand. Enjoy!
