FAQs & Expert Tips
FAQs
I used baby potatoes for this recipe, but there’s no rocket science when it comes to roasting potatoes. You can use any kind of potatoes you like! If you aren’t using baby potatoes, make sure to choose a starchy potato like Yukon gold or russet. Cut them into bite size pieces so they cook just as fast.
I kept these super simple, but there are so many options when it comes to which spices or herbs you can use for these roasted potatoes. Garlic, ginger paste, cumin seeds, chili powder, turmeric and red pepper flakes are all excellent options! You can even add some parmesan for a crispy cheese coating.
You can serve these roasted potatoes alongside ANY main of your choosing, they are so versatile! Or, if you’re like me and LOVE potatoes, just eat them by themselves, with a bit of ketchup! They are delicious, filling and most of all, good for you!
Tips
- Coat each potato with the spices so that they all get a good amount of seasoning.
- Play around with different combinations of spices to make the potatoes to your liking.
- Don’t touch the potatoes while they’re roasting! This will ensure they get crispy and brown.
Leftovers
Whenever I make roasted baby potatoes at home, there are never any leftovers. If by chance you do have leftovers, transfer them to an airtight container and store in the fridge for 3-4 days.
Freezing
Let cool, then transfer to an airtight container. Your roasted potatoes will last 10-12 months in the freezer.

My family Loves these. If, and that’s a big if; there’s any leftovers, I fry & cut them up the next day with eggs, sausage, hot sauce and put them in a wrap with cheese…everyone goes crazy for them.
Mmm. These are my kind of potatoes. Yum!
