Bake Red Potatoes at 400 Degrees
Ingredients
- 2 pounds Red potatoes (cut into 1/2 inch slices or quarters)
- 2 teaspoons Olive oil
- Seasonings of your choice (we have used garlic powder, oregano, and salt with a healthy dose of pepper for this batch. Feel free to use whatever you have on hand – rosemary, thyme, chives)
- 1/4 cup Chopped fresh parsley leaves (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Toss together the potatoes and olive oil until evenly coated in a large bowl.
- Add the seasonings of your choice and mix well, making sure the oil and seasonings are evenly distributed.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil for easy clean-up, then spread the potatoes out in an even layer on the pan.
- Bake at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 20 minutes, then flip each piece of potato using tongs.
- Reduce oven temperature to 375 degrees Fahrenheit and bake an additional 20 minutes.
- If desired, remove the pan from the oven and turn on the broiler to high heat for 2-3 minutes or until potatoes are browned to your liking. Remove from oven, sprinkle with chopped parsley (optional), then season with salt and pepper to taste.
Notes
If you're only cooking one pound of potatoes, just cut all of your ingredients proportionally – still using 2 teaspoons of olive oil and halving the salt and pepper.
