Oven Roasted Herb Potatoes – Easy Side Dish Recipe

Oven Roasted Herb Potatoes are simple potato chunks tossed in butter and seasonings and baked to perfection in the oven. A delicious and simple side dish!

Herb-Roasted Potatoes: Potato Chunks with Garlic and Herbs (and Butter!)

Here I am again, with another potato side dish recipe to share!😅 A standard Mennonite meal consists of meat and potatoes (and more), so yes, we love potatoes! 

There are many yummy ways to prepare potatoes from Cheesy Potatoes to Mashed Potatoes loaded with brown butter to Roasted Parmesan Potatoes… MMM.😋

Roasted potatoes like these are an easy side dish to pair with just about any meat. It doesn’t take long (especially if you skip the peeling part!) to dice the potatoes, mix with the butter and seasonings and pop them in the oven to bake.

Also, potatoes are budget-friendly. We literally just got a fifty-pound bag of potatoes for ten dollars at the local grocery store!

On the dinner table tonight, we have a roasted chicken, homemade chicken broth gravy, oven-roasted potatoes and steamed broccoli. I think this just might be my favorite weeknight dinner!

Ingredients 

• Potatoes – red, Yukon Gold, or russet potatoes. If using russets, I like to peel them first, since we don’t care for those thick peelings.
  
• Butter – salted butter. Olive oil makes a fine substitute!
  
• Seasoned Salt – Lawry’s seasoned salt. Or, you can use regular salt instead.
  
• Italian seasoning – this is basically just a blend of herbs, and you can actually make your own!
  
• Oregano – dried oregano flakes
  
• Parsley – dried parsley flakes
  
• Garlic – minced garlic. Ideally, I’d mince the fresh garlic cloves, though currently I don’t have any, so I just used the minced garlic from the jar!

If you have fresh herbs you’d like to use, go right ahead! When substituting fresh herbs for dried herbs in a recipe, I usually do times three; for example, instead of adding a half teaspoon, I’d add a teaspoon and a half.

Find the full recipe on the handy little printable recipe card at the bottom of this post.

Supplies we used:

• Mixing bowl – a large bowl for mixing. Or you can mix them up right in the baking dish you’re planning to use!
  
• Measuring cups and spoons
  
• Baking dish – I often reach for this glass Pyrex baking dish! Any dish similar in size to a 9×13 baking dish or sheet pan will work.
  
• Microwave safe dish – for melting the butter

How to make Oven Roasted Herb Potatoes

Pre-heat the oven to 350° F.

Wash and dice the potatoes (and peel if you wish), then toss potatoes, melted butter and seasonings together in a large mixing bowl.

Grease a baking dish and spread the herb potatoes evenly inside. 

Bake for about one hour, stirring halfway through, until the potatoes are soft on the inside and turning crispy on the outside. 

Serve and enjoy!🧡

Storage

Any leftover potatoes can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to four days.

Tips, Tricks & Notes

Any type of potato should work in this recipe. Today I used russet potatoes with thicker skins, so I peeled them. If I use red potatoes or Yukon Gold potatoes, I usually don’t peel them!

Really want to make clean-up easy? Lay a piece of parchment paper in the bottom of the baking dish and place potatoes on top to roast.
