How to Make Roasted Red Potatoes // The Steps

Step 1: Preheat the oven to 375° F.

Step 2: Cut your potatoes in quarters if you have large potatoes or in halves if they are small, making sure they are all a similar size so that they cook at the same time. 

Step 3: Toss the potatoes in a large bowl with olive oil, garlic, Parmesan, salt, and pepper until they are coated all over.

Step 4: Spread the coated potatoes out on a baking sheet in a single layer, lay squares of butter on top, and then place in the oven to roast for 35-40 minutes or until soft all the way through and a little crispy on the outside.

Step 5: Sprinkle with the chives and serve.

Variations //

There are a number of ingredients you can roast your red potatoes in, so feel free to add or substitute them to elevate the flavors. A few ideas are: rosemary, thyme, paprika, cumin, chili powder, lemon juice, sage, dill, and onion powder.

You can also use Yukon gold potatoes if you aren’t able to find red-skinned potatoes at your grocery store, just be sure to cut them up into smaller pieces.

How to Store Roasted Red Potatoes //

You can keep your roasted red potatoes in the refrigerator for up to 4 days and in the freezer for up to 3 months. Just make sure you seal them in a plastic bag or container to keep them fresh.

Reheat your potatoes from room temperature (defrosted in the fridge overnight and left out for about 20 minutes on the day). You can stick them in a single layer on a baking pan and in a 350° F oven for 15 – 20 minutes, or until they sizzle and are warmed through. You could also microwave them for a couple of minutes if you don’t mind them being a little soggy. Hint: they’ll still taste incredible!
