Baby red potatoes are bathed in olive oil and dusted with spices and baked until they melt in your mouth. If you are making a Valentine Dinner for your Sweetheart, this would be a great addition to the meal.
Roasted Baby Reds
Start with a couple of pounds of baby reds, wash and dry them. Cut them into small chunks (I quartered mine) and toss them in olive oil and spices to make a delicious side dish.
Dice the potatoes.
Toss the potatoes in olive oil and spices.
Make sure not to crowd the potatoes on the baking sheet, they will cook faster if they are spread out.
These potatoes are a great side dish.
This dish would go well with my recipes for: Balsamic Chicken with Onions, New York Strip Steaks or Balsamic Glazed Pork Chops
Ingredients
- 2 lbs. Baby Red Potatotes
- 2 Tbsp. Olive Oil
- 1 tsp. salt
- 1 tsp. pepper
- 1 tsp. paprika
- 1/2 tsp. garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp. onion powder
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Line a baking sheet with foil.
- Wash and dry the potatoes. Cut the potatoes into small chunks, I quartered mine. Place the potatoes on the foil lined baking sheet. Drizzle the olive oil over the potatoes, toss to coat.
- Mix together the salt, pepper, paprika, garlic powder and onion powder. Sprinkle the spice mixture over the potatoes, toss to coat.
- Bake for 20 minutes, remove from the oven and toss the potatoes. Poke a couple of potatoes with a fork to check for doneness. Bake in 10 minute intervals, checking for doneness at each interval. I cooked mine for 40 minutes total. Add additional salt if needed.
Notes
Feel free to change up the spices in this recipe. I have used Greek Seasoning, Cajun Seasoning and Lemon Pepper. Just make sure to always use salt and pepper along with what ever spice you use.
