Oven Roasted Red Potatoes is a classic recipe and a favourite in your rotation, and a regular on your dinner table. For the everyday to the holiday, this is a ‘sure thing’ when it comes to a potato side dish.
Oven Roasted Red Potatoes
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, and ones which are often oven-cooked. As much as I love the ease of cooking with the slow cooker or skillet, I love when the house is heated with the warmth of the oven – smells filling the air for hours.
Right now 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.
Truth be told, it’s a comforting meal for any night, and really, can be served with any main meat course. From simple baked chicken breasts to a delicious roast, this is a side dish that partners with everything!
It’s especially nice when I have the meat in the slow cooker, such as a whole chicken, and can cook the potatoes in the oven, and vegetables on the stove. Some say it’s too many steps but it’s all in the timing.
May I suggest these Pesto Cheese Stuffed Chicken Rolls or Slow Cooker Apricot Chicken? YUM!
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 too 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 in 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! It’s become one of the most popular side dishes on this blog, and for great reason!

09/09/2015 at 8:43 amThank 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 🙂

11/27/2016 at 7:44 amThat depends on the dish size – can you use a larger dish that ensures they aren’t piled in one big layer?
