Oven Roasted Potatoes

I've used this recipe several times, so I was surprised I hadn't posted it yet. I don't put in the dill weed, and use only a dash of cayenne pepper (instead of crushed red pepper flakes). I've also baked these another way. I cut them into wedges, microwave them for about 4 minutes (about half done), and then mix them with the oil and herbs. Then I pan fry them on the stove in a large skillet.

Oven Roasted Potatoes
  • 1/8 cup olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon minced garlic
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried basil
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried marjoram
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried dill weed
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried parsley
  • 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 4 large potatoes, peeled and cubed

  1. Preheat oven to 475 degrees F (245 degrees C).
  2. In a large bowl, combine oil, garlic, basil, marjoram, dill weed, thyme, oregano, parsley, red pepper flakes, and salt. Stir in potatoes until evenly coated. Place potatoes in a single layer on a roasting pan or baking sheet.
  3. Roast for 20 to 30 minutes in the preheated oven, turning occasionally to brown on all sides.

Emma, I love potatoes and tried this recipe. It's was good. I used the red pepper flakes and I would probably use less next time since the kids thought it was spicy! Meghan asked me why I was putting "so much grass in" when I was mixing the seasoning and oil. :)
