by My family loves potatoes and sometimes we get into a rut of having either baked potatoes or mashed. Â Sometimes it is nice to change it up a bit. Â So I found a simple and easy way to make perfectly roasted red potatoes. Â The bonus, it requires very few ingredients and even less time. Â Hope you enjoy!
Oven Roasted Red Potatoes
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
Wash the red potatoes.
Quarter the potatoes.
Place on a large cookie sheet and coat with the olive oil, salt and pepper. Â Toss.
Place into the oven and cook for 20 minutes. Â Open the oven and stir the potatoes. Â Continue to cook for 20 minutes.
At this point they might be done. Â It all depends on the size of your potatoes. Â If you have extra large potatoes it may take an extra 10 minutes. Â You can easily check doneness with a fork.
Place the potatoes into a serving bowl and enjoy!

This dish is simple and easy. Â It is a great side for any grilled foods.
One of our favorites too. So easy, and sometimes we’ll add some garlic or bbq rub to spice things up. Nice job Rex.
Thanks Brian. I will have to try adding some rub to it next time.
My son likes these better than fries any day of the week.
Chris, Dana likes these better too. Less is better!
