The Best Roasted Potatoes
We could eat these roasted potatoes all week! I make these for breakfast and make extra so we can enjoy them for dinner during the week. I like to serve them with a rotisserie chicken, Sunday Roast, side of vegetables and a salad to name a handful or ideas. Such a simple dinner that the family LOVES. Be sure to also try these with a side of scrambled eggs in the mornings or inside a frittata.

What You’ll Need
Here are the ingredients you’ll need to make the best roasted potatoes at home. See the recipe card located at the bottom of the post for full details.
- Olive Oil– I use extra virgin olive oil to cook and brown the potatoes.
- Russet Potatoes– Russet potatoes are cubed into 1 inch cubes/pieces for the recipe. You can also use other variety of potatoes. Note that other varieties may take longer to cook.
- Salt– I generally use kosher salt for my recipes.
- Pepper– For best tasting results use freshly ground black pepper.
- Garlic Salt– If you can find Lawry’s garlic salt, this is the brand we use.
How To Make Roasted Potatoes
Heat Skillet, Add Oil. Preheat large 3-5 quart skillet over medium heat. Add olive oil.
Add Potatoes. When pan is hot add potatoes.
Season Potatoes. Season potatoes with salt and pepper.
Cook and Crisp Potatoes. Stir to combine then let sit for 5 minutes before stirring again.
Continue To Crisp. You want to potatoes to get that nice golden crust, so let sit in the pan for a good 5 minutes after each stir. Continue this process until the potatoes are fork tender and golden crisp. Remove and serve warm.
Tips For Making Roasted Potatoes
- Wash Potato Skins. The perfect roasted potato has a crispy, flavorful crust on the outside and creamy potato goodness on the inside. Begin making your own batch by washing the potato skins thoroughly. This will remove any dirt or debris that might affect the texture of the potatoes.
- Cut Potatoes Into Same Size Cube Pieces. Cut the potatoes into same size pieces. The larger the piece, the longer the roasting process will be.
- Parboil For Extra Crispy. If you want extra crispy potatoes, parboil them until they’re soft on the outside but firm on the inside.
How To Serve
Serve your roasted potatoes for just about any meal from breakfast, lunch or dinner. They’re great with eggs, inside burritos and perfect for complimenting chicken, beef and seafood.
Leftovers
Store leftover potatoes in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Reheating Instructions
For best results, reheat the roasted potatoes in the airfryer at 350 degrees F. for 3-5 minutes until hot and crisp.
