Why You’ll Love This Crispy Oven Roasted Baby Potatoes Recipe

This potato dish checks all the right boxes: minimal prep, maximum flavor, and adaptable to any meal. The texture is spot-on, with crisped edges and a soft, fluffy interior. It’s naturally gluten-free and can easily be made vegan-friendly too. Plus, no peeling required—hello, time saver!


What Kind of Potatoes Work Best?

Small baby potatoes (sometimes labeled new potatoes) are ideal because of their tender skins and creamy centers. Yellow or red varieties roast beautifully, getting those golden, caramelized edges without drying out. If you only have larger potatoes on hand, just cut them into similar-sized chunks for even roasting.


Ingredients for the Crispy Oven Roasted Baby Potatoes

These ingredients are pantry staples, yet they create a savory flavor punch that never disappoints.

  • Baby Potatoes – Their thin skin and creamy inside make them perfect for roasting without peeling.
  • Olive Oil – Helps the potatoes roast evenly and achieve that signature golden crisp.
  • Garlic (minced) – Infuses the potatoes with aromatic, savory flavor.
  • Salt and Pepper – Enhances natural potato flavor.
  • Fresh Parsley – Adds a fresh, herbaceous finish.
  • Optional: Parmesan Cheese or Smoked Paprika – For a cheesy or smoky twist.

How To Make the Crispy Oven Roasted Baby Potatoes

Step 1: Prep and Halve the Potatoes

Wash and dry the baby potatoes thoroughly. Slice each in half for quicker cooking and better caramelization.

Step 2: Toss with Oil and Seasonings

In a large bowl, toss the halved potatoes with olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Make sure every piece is evenly coated.

Step 3: Roast to Perfection

Arrange the potatoes cut-side down on a parchment-lined baking tray. Roast in a preheated oven at 425°F (220°C) for about 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through until crispy and golden.

Step 4: Garnish and Serve

Once out of the oven, sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley (and optional Parmesan) before serving. Serve hot for the best texture.


How to Serve and Store Crispy Oven Roasted Baby Potatoes

These potatoes feed about 4 people as a hearty side. Serve them hot, straight from the oven for that signature crisp. Leftovers? Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or air fryer to bring back their crunch.
