Sundays will never be the same now that I found a simple and perfect potato side dish to our meat. Like most families, Sundays are something special to us. It’s the only day that I stay away from my laptop and unplug from the online world.
Whenever possible, my family would sometimes drive for hours just to spend Sunday dinner together. And since hubby brought home 3 pounds of small red potatoes again, from the farmers market, I couldn’t think of anything else but to roast it as aside.
Although I love this creamy, fluffy and flavor-packed Roasted Garlic Mashed Potatoes, it somehow takes a bit of work in the kitchen unlike this Roasted Red Potatoes. And when you have big guys hanging around, you can’t simply let them wait that longer for food. 😀
These roast red potatoes are simple yet it yields so much flavor. It could even be at par with the main dish. It’s covered in an olive oil, garlic and creole seasoning mixture topped with herbs and roasted to perfection.
I even made another batch since it flew off the table in a matter of seconds. And don’t worry about the ingredients, you can mostly find them in your pantry. And of course, you can always make your own “Queen of Seasoning” Homemade Creole Seasoning HERE. You have got to make it. Seriously I put it on EVERYTHING. Me no like bland and boring.

Oven Roasted Red Potatoes
Ingredients
- 2-2½ pounds (900-1133g) small red potatoes or white (sliced in half)

- 1 teaspoon (3g) Creole seasoning
- 2 tablespoons (17g) minced garlic
- 2 tablespoons (8g) minced parsley
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425℉ (218℃).
- Scrub potatoes, clean them, and cut them in half. Place in a saucepan with water and about ½ teaspoon salt; you can add more after roasting.
- Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat to a simmer. Cook for until just until the edges are tender, 6-7 minutes. Potatoes should be almost cooked, but not quite. Drain water and simmer for another 1 minute or until the potatoes are completely dry.
- Meanwhile, combine oil, minced garlic, and Creole seasoning in a small pan set over medium-low heat. Stir for 30 seconds to a minute. Turn off the heat and let the mixture sit for about 5 minutes.
- Add a tablespoon or more garlic oil to the parboiled potatoes and toss until mixed well.
- Line a baking sheet with baking mat or parchment paper.
- Spread the seasoned potatoes in a single layer on the baking sheet. Bake them for 25-40 minutes, flipping them every 5-10 minutes with a spatula until they’re evenly browned and crispy, according to preference. You can add parsley as you flip them. (Baking time will depend on your oven and altitude.)
- Remove from the oven, add more spice mixture to taste, allow to cool slightly, and serve immediately.
Tips & Notes:
- Replace half of the olive oil with butter for a flavor twist.

Hello Mickey,
Thank you for pointing that out. I have adjusted the baking time. Sometimes the oven and altitude affect how long it actually takes.
I made these tonight with your southern fried chicken recipe and the dinner combination was wonderful!
Those are some flavorful potatoes! One the things i’ve learned to do when cooking things like potatoes and other things in just water and if not cooking it in stock is to flavor up the water by throwing in a Bayleaf or two, some Thyme, a garlic clove or two, piece of onion. That’s all to just jazz up the plain water and add some flavor in liquid to imbue it onto the potatoes or some other vegetables. Just removing it all from whatever cooking in the end or in this case potatoes. I like the Potatoe dish though.,
Great tip Urban. Can’t wait to give it a try . Thanks.
Looks delicious!! Going to try it this evening.
Great! Do let me know how it works out for you!
