- Potatoes: You can use small red or yellow potatoes or russet potatoes, whatever you have on hand.
- Olive oil: Doesn’t have to be extra virgin, just a good quality olive oil since there’s a 1/4 cup in this recipe.

Tips For Best Results
Although this is a super simple side dish recipe, we do have a few tips to ensure the best results!
- Grease the baking sheet: Make sure to grease your baking sheet before adding the potatoes. Use a non-stick cooking spray or brush with a layer of oil.
- Toss for even roasting: Halfway through the cooking time, get in there and toss the potatoes so that they roast up crispy on all sides.
- Same size dice: Try to roughly cut the potatoes into the same size so that they cook evenly.
Ideas For Serving
Serve these roasted potatoes as a side dish with any meal of the day – breakfast, lunch or dinner. Here’s some of our favorite main courses that go perfectly with these potatoes:
- Homemade Sloppy Joes
- Garlic Butter Steak Bites
- Creamy Chicken Marsala (SO delicious for soaking up the sauce!)

Store & Reheat
Store leftovers in an air tight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Reheating the potatoes can be as easy as throwing a bowl in the microwave for a quick bite.
But for the crispiest results, reheat the potatoes in a 400 degree oven until warmed through, about 7-8 minutes. Or place into an air fryer on 375 for 5 minutes.

- 1 ounce packet of Ranch seasoning
- 4 tablespoons butter, melted

- Spray a large 9″ x 13″ baking sheet with non-stick cooking spray, or brush with a thin layer of olive oil. Place the potatoes onto the baking sheet spreading into an even layer. If the potatoes don’t have room to be in a single layer on your baking sheet, use two baking sheets.
