The very best garlic roasted potatoes! These are flavorful and delicious, and only take a few minutes and a handful of ingredients! This easy side dish would be the perfect complement to a Sunday roast, ham, steaks, or tenderloin! Really, it compliments most meals wonderfully! I love using red potatoes or Yukon gold potatoes for this recipe because they roast nicely with this cooking method. Make it with me!

Easy Roasted Potatoes

One of my favorite side dishes to make are these easy garlic roasted potatoes! They take a few minutes to prep, and about a half an hour to bake with only a handful of ingredients!

The best part about this recipe is how quickly it comes together. I love when side dishes are simple and delicious, and this recipe is just that!

For this recipe, I prefer using red or Yukon gold potatoes when roasting. I feel that they crisp up a little better than using a white russet potato. Plus, they are easy to cube in bite-size pieces.

I then season the potatoes with fresh garlic, a good quality olive oil, fresh or dried parsley, and salt & pepper.

What Recipes To Pair with Roasted Potatoes

Potatoes are one of those foods that I feel really go with most recipes! They pair extremely well with beef.

I like to make this recipe with my Rosemary Pork Tenderloin or Sunday Roast.

But you could also pair this recipe with a honey baked ham or even a roasted chicken. These roasted potatoes would be a delicious compliment to either.

We make these garlic roasted potatoes almost weekly at my house, because everyone likes to have them for Sunday dinner. I mean really, who doesn’t love a good potato side dish?

Fresh Garlic Is Best

With this recipe, I do prefer to use fresh garlic for the best flavor. A lot of recipes like this call for garlic powder or garlic salt, but the flavor is simply not as strong.

I like to use fresh garlic when it is the main flavor element of a dish.

You can buy garlic at the grocery store and mince it yourself. You can also buy premade fresh minced garlic at most grocery stores.

For this recipe, you can use either! You want that flavor to be bold and strong! I promise it won’t be too garlicky either!

I would steer clear of using a powdered garlic or garlic salt just because you want the flavor to be bold and fresh. Sometimes in recipes like this, dried flavorings get lost after baking and we don’t want to miss it!

How long to Roast Potatoes

For crispy potatoes, I prefer to roast them at a higher temperature for the best, golden results: normally at 375°F for 30-45 minutes, while turning them a couple of times to ensure they crisp up all over.

If you want them to roast quicker, I would use a baking sheet rather than a glass pan. Spread the potatoes out on the cookie sheet and increase the temperature of the oven to 400°F.

Watch the potatoes closely and flip them once during the cook time. I would cook them for about 20-22 minutes and they should be done.
