Another Easy + Flavorful Side Dish
Hello Lil’ Luna readers! It’s me Natalie, from Life Made Simple. Today I’m sharing a really effortless side dish idea – easy herb roasted potatoes.
I’m constantly trying to come up with new ideas for side dishes. Our family loves our classic sides like mashed potatoes, roasted broccoli and corn on the cob, but we love changing it up. These potatoes were the perfect recipe to add to the menu!
The best thing about these herb potatoes is that all of “active” time for this recipe is the prep work. Peeling and chopping the potatoes, boiling them and tossing them in the lemon/herb/oil mixture. And that only takes about 10 minutes. I’m telling you, these potatoes are delicious and a cinch to make!!
How to Make Herb Potatoes
As we mentioned – they are so easy!
After peeling, chopping and boiling the potatoes and tossing them in the herb and oil mixture, all that’s left to do is spread the coated potatoes onto a hot baking sheet and bake at 375 degrees for about 1 hour.
Turn every 20 minutes and you’ve got a pan full of bright, herby golden potatoes.
Recipe Tips:
We use Yukon Gold potatoes in this recipe because they are great for roasting but you can use any kind of potato you want and it will turn out great.
Cook under a broiler for a few minutes to make them more crispy.
- When cutting the potatoes try to cut them all roughly the same size, this will help them cook evenly.
- When placing the potatoes on the pan don’t crowd it. You want to make sure none of the potatoes are overlapping each other because this will prevent the bottom potatoes from getting crispy.
- If you prefer, you can definitely leave the peel on the potatoes. If you do this, just be sure to wash and scrub your potatoes before chopping them.
How do you keep roasted potatoes from getting soggy? Roasted potatoes are definitely the best right after they are cooked. Once they sit for too long they may get soggy. The best way to prevent this is to eat them right away, but if they have sat out for too long then put them back in the oven and reheat them for about 10 minutes, turning them over at half way.
Storing, Reheating + What to Serve With
If you have leftovers STORE them in the fridge in an airtight container or a resealable plastic bag for 3-5 days.
You can also FREEZE these cooked potatoes as well. Once they have cooled, spread on a pan and freeze until solid. Then transfer them to a large freezer bag. Label and freeze 3-4 months.
To REHEAT them place them on a roasting pan with some oil and bake at 400 degrees for about 10-15 minutes or 30 minutes if frozen. Be sure to flip halfway through bake time.
What to Serve With These Potatoes: They go great with most meals, but here are some of our favorites!

These were a great complement to a Greekish dinner. I would bake them for an hour and 15 minutes next time, to get them really soft on the inside and crispy on the outside. Thanks for a good recipe!
