    Recipe Variations

    • If you have any of these herbs or spices on hand, Smoked Paprika, Garlic, Sea Salt & Cracked Pepper, toss them in with your potatoes for a smoky, garlicky take on basic roasted potatoes.
    • Add red pepper flakes for a bit of heat and give them an extra sprinkle of salt at the end.
    • Add cheese such as grated parmesan cheese sprinkled on top and bake.
    • Add a bit of crisp and flavor with Bacon Bits. Before serving, top your baked potatoes with bacon bits for a tasty treat!

    Tips for Perfect Roasted Potatoes

    • Line your baking sheet to prevent the potatoes from sticking to the pan.
    • Avoid overcooking. Stick a fork straight down into your potato. If it goes in easily, they’re done. If there’s still resistance, put them back in for another five minutes or so and check again.
    • Don’t overload the tray. Lay out the potatoes in a single layer so they get nice and brown and crisp evenly.
    • Make sure the potatoes are evenly coated with oil. This is what makes them cook perfect.

      Would it be possible to partially roast the potatoes, then freeze and reheat in the oven?

        I’ve never done that. I find that it’s better to freeze them already cooked and then just heat in oven from frozen.
