This recipe for Crispy Oven Roasted Potatoes delivers perfectly tender potatoes with a golden, crunchy exterior. By parboiling the potatoes before roasting, you achieve a fluffy interior and an irresistible crisp crust. Ideal for a side dish to any meal, these roasted potatoes are seasoned simply with salt, pepper, and avocado oil for a naturally delicious flavor.

Ingredients

Potatoes

  • 1 1/2 pounds baby gold potatoes, quartered

Seasoning and Oil

  • 1/2 cup avocado oil or vegetable oil
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste
  • Sea salt flakes, for finishing

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Boil: Preheat your oven to 425˚F (220˚C). Place the quartered baby gold potatoes in a large pot filled with water until fully submerged. Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce to medium and simmer for 10 to 12 minutes until the potatoes are just starting to soften but remain firm.
  2. Drain and Season: Drain the potatoes thoroughly in a colander and let them sit for 5 minutes to release steam. Toss the potatoes directly in the colander with salt and pepper, shaking vigorously to create small craters on the potato surfaces, which helps with crispiness.
  3. Prepare Baking Sheet: Pour the avocado or vegetable oil onto a rimmed baking sheet or baking dish. Place the sheet in the oven for about 10 minutes to heat the oil.
  4. Coat Potatoes in Hot Oil: Carefully remove the hot baking sheet and add the potatoes. Toss gently to coat the potatoes evenly with the hot oil, then arrange each piece cut-side down in a single even layer to maximize contact for crisping.
  5. Roast: Roast the potatoes in the preheated oven for about 30 minutes. Do not disturb or turn them during this time to allow them to develop a crispy crust. Roasting is done when the potatoes are fork-tender and golden brown on the bottom.
  6. Serve: Remove from the oven, transfer the roasted potatoes to a serving platter, and sprinkle with sea salt flakes before serving immediately for best texture and flavor.

Notes

  • Using baby gold potatoes gives a creamy texture and natural sweetness, but Yukon gold or red potatoes can be substituted.
  • Parboiling helps to soften the inside and reduce the overall roasting time while improving crispiness.
  • Shaking the potatoes after salting creates texture that enhances crunchiness during roasting.
  • If you prefer, you can add herbs like rosemary or thyme before roasting for additional flavor.
  • Use avocado oil for a higher smoke point and healthier fat profile, but vegetable oil works well too.
  • Do not overcrowd the baking sheet; potatoes should be in a single layer for even roasting.
