What You Need to Make this Recipe

How to Make this Recipe

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F before you start making these Oven Roasted Baby Potatoes.

(1) Toss baby potatoes with oil and spices.

(2) Spread evenly on a baking sheet and place in the oven. Roast for 45 minutes, shaking the pan every 15 minutes to ensure even roasting.

Remove and toss with fresh herbs before serving.

These pair wonderfully with other roasted veggies, like carrots, and served with the Boneless Turkey Roast Recipe here or the Instant Pot Bottom Round Roast here!

Recipe Notes

Don’t over think these! They are so stinking easy to make, you can’t mess them up. I swear!

Here are a few tips to keep in mind when making these:

• Use whatever variety of baby potatoes you can find. The multi-colored ones are great and pack a variety of antioxidants too!
• Toss in whatever spice blends you prefer. If making a Mexican themed dinner, these are great with a zesty taco seasoning blend!
• Fresh herbs to garnish with are my favorite! Basil is great for an Italian themed side with chicken, or cilantro for the Mexican themed meals!

If you want to take these up a notch too for a fun appetizer, you can smash them and top with cheese to turn into your own nachos!

I’ve got a few air fryer options with these too in my Air Fryer Cookbook For Dummies to checkout!

Can I turn these into mashed potatoes?

You sure can! Simply ensure the potatoes are cooked through (like they will be when you finish this recipe) and take your potato masher (or pastry blender) and mash.

Add your desired seasonings and viola, a simple mashed potato!

How can I simple swap (or lighten up) potatoes?

Great question!

I’ve created a simple video showing you how to keep the big flavor of the taters you’ve come to expect while boosting the nutrition too!

Here are my biggest two swaps:

• Add 1/2 cup riced cauliflower for each 1 cup of mashed potatoes
• Add 1/3 cup plain Greek yogurt for a creamy, tangy taste to the final dish

Oh, and duah! Don’t forget butter (I love the plant based avocado oil versions), salt and pepper!
