Roasted New Red Potatoes are a simple and delicious side dish, perfect for any meal. The tender red potatoes are roasted with olive oil, garlic, and herbs until golden brown and crispy on the outside, while remaining soft on the inside.

Origin Roasted New Red Potatoes

Roasted potatoes are a classic dish found in many cultures around the world. The use of new red potatoes, with their thin skin and waxy texture, is popular in Western cooking, especially in Europe and North America. This dish is often served as a side with meats, fish, or as part of a vegetable medley. The combination of herbs and garlic elevates the flavor, making it a staple for casual dinners and holiday meals.

What I Love About This Recipe

Roasted New Red Potatoes are one of my go-to side dishes because they’re so easy to prepare, yet taste absolutely amazing. I love the crispy edges that form during roasting, combined with the soft, creamy interior. The seasoning adds just the right amount of flavor without overpowering the natural taste of the potatoes. It’s a versatile dish that can be paired with a variety of main courses. Plus, it’s perfect for meal prep as the leftovers taste just as good!
