    These Roasted Potatoes are a fabulous and ridiculously easy side dish ! They are a weekly staple in our house because they are just that good. They are the perfect side dish with any chicken or pork dish you make!

    I remember the first time I had them when we moved to our neighborhood back in 2005. One of my neighbors (now one of my besties) brought them to a Labor Day party. As much as I love my easy Potato Salad recipe, sometimes a change is nice.

    It was one of those moments where you say to yourself “Why haven’t I ever made these”. They are cooked much longer than you would think they need to be to get them extra crispy on the outside and soft on the inside.

    How to Make Oven Roasted Potatoes

    Preheat oven to 400 degrees

    Cut potatoes into cubes and place in a large glass baking dish

    Pour oil over the potatoes

    Sprinkle with salt and pepper

    Toss the potatoes and oil together to coat well

    Bake for 45 minutes, then toss to mix.

    Bake for another 20 minutes. Toss and mix again.

    Bake for another 20 minutes. Repeat if necessary. You want them to get a nice, crispy brown on the outside.

    ENJOY!!

      I don’t make roasted potatoes much but im tempted to now because of how easy you make it look! Plus it seems like it’s the perfect side dish for winter. This will also give me good reason to use my coconut oil I have sitting around.
