But I think that they also make great weeknight dinners that only need minimal prep and cook in the oven while you have time for other things. These roasted potatoes are always a hit in our house! I love to combine them with veggies and sausages to make an easy minimal-prep weeknight dinner.
Cooking dinner on a sheet pan gives you more time to do other things while your meal is cooking in the oven and clean up is super quick. The potatoes are sliced like Hasselback potatoes, roasted with olive oil, garlic, butter, parsley, and rosemary. It’s really very easy and the only seasonings you will need are black pepper and salt.
For me, baking/roasting potatoes is a healthier way to eat potatoes. I love oven roasting vegetables from oven roasted potatoes to oven roasted carrots to oven roasted broccoli and asparagus. As the vegetables roast, the become tender on the inside and caramelized on the outside. Their natural flavors in these oven roasted potatoes are enhanced.

Tips to make the best oven Roasted Potatoes
- Pick potatoes that are similarly sized so they cook evenly and are done at the same time.
- Don’t overcrowd your baking sheet otherwise the roasted potatoes won’t crisp up.
- I choose Starchy russet potatoes because for me they work best in this recipe.
- I recommend using small to medium potatoes rather than large. If you decide to go for large, then you will only need about 4 of them instead of 8. They need to be washed well because you will keep their skin on.
