    Variations

    Vegan Roasted Potatoes

    If you want to make these roasted potatoes vegan, just leave out the parmesan and use vegan butter (or just extra olive oil)!

    Or, you can replace the cheese with vegan parmesan. You can buy this online or at some specialty markets.

    Or, you can make your own. All you do to make a simple homemade vegan parmesan is to put ¾ cup of cashews, 3 tbsp nutritional yeast, ¼ tsp garlic powder, and ¾ tsp sea salt in a food processor. Pulse it all together until it’s a fine consistency. 

    Make it a Little Spicy

    To give your roasted potatoes an extra kick, add some paprika and red chili flakes. You might also try adding some extra garlic and pepper. 

    Play with the Herbs

    You can experiment with your own favorite combination f herbs. Or if you want to make things really simple and quick, without having to measure out all the herbs, try using a Greek seasoning or Italian seasoning blend.

    FAQs About Roasted Potatoes

    Roasted Potatoes in a red serving bowl

    How do you make roast potatoes crispy?

    Coat them with oil and make sure to spread them in a single layer on a baking sheet. Roast for 40 to 45 minutes. The potatoes are crispy when they are golden brown. 

    Should potatoes be soaked before roasting?

    You don’t have to soak potatoes before roasting them. But, you definitely can! Especially for larger potatoes, you may want to partially boil them before roasting.

    To do this, boil the potatoes until they are about ¾ of the way cooked. That will ensure they have enough liquid in them when they go into the oven so that they don’t get too stiff in the oven. Drain the potatoes, and then roast them for just 20 to 30 minutes at 425 degrees.

    What is a good potato for roasting?

    You can use red potatoes because the skin to potato ratio is perfect!

    Or, you can try Yukon gold potatoes (like in this Crispy Potatoes Recipe). They will hold their shape and have a creamy, buttery inside. But they are also crispy on the outside with thin skin.

    Just make sure to cut each of the potatoes into medium chunks before coating them and roasting them.

    Notes

    • I used baby red potatoes because the skin to potato ratio is just perfect! You can use regular baking potatoes and just cut them into medium sized chunks.
    • You can also add a bit of smoked paprika and chili flakes to give them a spicy kick!
    • Make this recipe vegan by omitting the parmesan cheese, and replacing the butter with vegan butter or extra olive oil.

      Thanks Nicole for this recipe. I have eczema and my friend recommended I should be on a gluten-free diet to help eliminate the eczema. I was going through the internet and I stumbled on this recipe. I tried it and I must say, it really taste good. Although, I wasn’t able to make it as spicy as you suggested because I was out of ingredients, I intend adding the Italian seasoning blend you mentioned the next time I will be preparing it. Happy Holidays Nicole and thank you very much.
