Hey, look, it’s my favorite carb, but this time, it’s roasted red potatoes covered in herbs and garlic! What could be better? While I do love my salty, crispy baked potato recipe as my easy all-time favorite, this is a way to cook red potatoes that you’re sure to love!
Grab the ingredients for a dry rub for ribs or whip up some New York strip steaks with roasted tomatoes add these in and you have a fantastic summer dinner.
Quick and Easy Roasted Red Potatoes
I prefer to use small baby red potatoes, sometimes called creamer potatoes, as they have a great skin to flesh ratio. (that sounded weird, but use it in the context of potato skin and the flesh of the potato, not Hannibal Lector.) When you are roasting potatoes, the skin, in my humble opinion, is the best part, it absorbs the flavors and crisps up perfectly.
Use larger red potatoes when you are using a smashed potatoes recipe (I like Russet potatoes in those as well!) as they hold their shape nicely.
The Best Uses for Red Potatoes
Red potatoes are high in moisture, low in starch are the potatoes you use when you want them to retain their shape. Red potatoes are best when you use them for:
- roasting
- smashing
- skillet frying
- soups where you don’t want the potato to break down
- potato salads where you want the potatoes to hold their shape well – try my German Potato Salad
You can adjust all of the seasonings to your liking, feel free to play around with them. This is a really basic how-to!
Happy cooking!
