Delicious Roasted Red Potatoes Recipe for Easy Dinners

Ingredients

Servings:
8
  • 2 pounds red potatoes (washed and cut into wedges)
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil (for coating)
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder (for flavor)
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme (adds a herbal note)
  • 1 teaspoon salt (to taste)
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper (to taste)

Instructions

5 steps

  1. Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).

    Ensure the oven is fully heated for even cooking.
  2. Prepare the Potatoes

    Cut the red potatoes into wedges and place them in a large bowl.

    Try to keep the wedges uniform in size for even roasting.
  3. Add Oil and Seasonings

    Drizzle the olive oil over the potatoes, then sprinkle garlic powder, thyme, salt, and pepper. Toss to coat evenly.

    Using your hands can help ensure all potatoes are well coated.
  4. Arrange on Baking Sheet

    Spread the potatoes out in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

    Avoid overcrowding the pan to ensure crispiness.
  5. Roast the Potatoes

    Roast in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until golden and crispy, flipping halfway through.

    Check for doneness by piercing with a fork; they should be tender inside.
