Right now the season is shifting to cooler, darker days – and so our need grows for comforting surrounding, clothing and foods. Alas – bring out the sweaters and hot chocolate!
That being said, it’s time to think about comfort meals, one which are often oven-cooked. After all, many holidays are just around the corner. This recipe for Oven Roasted Red Potatoes is a great one to remember come Thanksgiving to Christmas as it’s the perfect side to a hearty meal.
It’s a recipe that leaves the skin on, which makes for a colourful dish don’t you think? Red Potatoes are so delicious and pretty! It sure adds some colour to an otherwise drab white potato.
We don’t eat many potatoes in the summer months, instead I usually opt for salads and veggies. Perhaps only a few times through the warmer months with steak and the occasional potato salad.
Yet n the Fall and Winter months, potatoes are made more often and paired with many mains from roast to chicken. I always make more potato recipes in the fall and winter, versus the other seasons of the year. Well, my friends, bookmark this one because this oven roasted potatoes recipe is absolute perfection!
Oven Roasted Red Potatoes is one of those classic recipes that will become a favourite in your regular rotation, and a regular to your dinner table. Why? Because it’s become that way for ours and friends whom I’ve introduced this recipe to.
So, start the fire and cuddle in, it’s going to be a long winter – and we need to find little pieces of happiness at each chance. Or, with each bite.
Enjoy this delicious recipe my friends! xo

I LOVE roasted potatoes -yours look so yummy! I need to add this to the menu this week…
This is what we’re having for supper tonight. Thanks for the recipe.
Thank you for the reminder – time to get back to roasted potatoes! I also prefer the red once. But I always peel them. I know, all the nutrients are there, under the skin, but so is all the bad stuff, especially if they are not organic. I also want to make sure they are not green. I guess, mostly it’s a cultural thing though, Ive never seen anyone eating potatoes with skin until we moved to Canada 🙂
Yum, definitely will be making these
I love the spices that you chose for this! Red potatoes are so tasty that I usually just go simple with butter, salt and pepper but I’ll have to try this too!

That depends on the dish size – can you use a larger dish that ensures they aren’t piled in one big layer?
