Why I Love This Recipe
There’s something deeply comforting about the smell of garlic and herbs roasting in the oven. These crispy red potatoes are a staple in my kitchen because:
- They go with everything – casseroles, grilled meats, cozy gumbo.
- You only need one sheet pan.
- They’re naturally gluten-free and budget-friendly.
- They deliver on both flavor and texture—crispy edges, soft centers.
I love serving them alongside cozy mains like Cajun Chicken Sausage Gumbo or Easy Turkey Wings.
🛒 Ingredients You’ll Need
- 2 pounds red potatoes, cut into 1-inch chunks (skin on)
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried rosemary or thyme (or 1 tablespoon fresh)
- ½ teaspoon paprika (optional but recommended)
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- Optional garnish: chopped fresh parsley or grated Parmesan
👩🍳 How to Make Crispy Garlic Red Potatoes
Step 1: Preheat the Oven
Set your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it for easy cleanup.
Step 2: Prep the Potatoes
Wash and dry your red potatoes well. Chop them into 1-inch chunks—keeping them uniform ensures even cooking.
Step 3: Season Everything
In a large mixing bowl, toss the potatoes with olive oil, minced garlic, herbs, paprika, salt, and pepper. Make sure they’re well coated—this is where the magic happens.
Step 4: Roast to Perfection
Spread the potatoes out in a single layer on your baking sheet. Roast for 35–40 minutes, flipping halfway through to get that glorious crisp on all sides.
Step 5: Garnish & Serve
Once out of the oven, sprinkle with fresh parsley or grated Parmesan for an extra savory punch. Serve them hot and watch them disappear!

🧊 Storage & Reheating Tips
