Description

Roasted potatoes don't always live up to the hype... unless you make them like this! These are crispy, golden, flavor-packed and completely addictive. No boiling, no fussy prep - just perfectly seasoned baby potatoes roasted to crispy perfection with a creamy, tender center. Once you try this easy method, you'll never make roasted potatoes another way again.


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1.5 pounds Baby Dutch Yellow potatoes
  • 1/4 cup avocado oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt (plus more to taste after roasting)
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon oregano
  • 1/4 teaspoon. ground black pepper

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F. Wash and dry the potatoes thoroughly. Either towel-dry well by sandwiching between two towels and gently rolling or let them air dry for 1 hour.
  2. Quarter the potatoes and toss with oil and seasonings directly in a 12-inch cast iron skillet. Divide between two skillets to avoid overcrowding.
  3. Arrange potatoes cut-side down, making sure none are touching.
  4. Roast for 15 minutes. Toss gently, then roast for another 15 minutes. Add up to 5 extra minutes for deeper golden crispiness if needed (or if using larger potatoes).
  5. Remove from oven and immediately sprinkle with additional fine salt. Serve hot, ideally within the first 30 minutes for maximum crispiness.
