Potatoes really are the best side dish to always have on hand. Plus, there are so many ways to make them. While these crispy oven-baked diced potatoes are wonderful, you could also make Slow Cooker Baby Potatoes or Air Fryer Garlic Parmesan Potatoes. 

Why These Oven Roasted Potatoes Work

These potatoes require minimal ingredients and are always a huge hit! The crispy exterior of these potatoes is what sets them apart from the rest! They’re versatile and will be great with my Sausage, Tomato Omelet, or Baked Lemon Pepper Chicken!

Ingredients needed

• Potatoes: I used Russet potatoes, but see the FAQ section for other options
• Herbs and spices: kosher salt, smashed garlic cloves and freshly chopped parsley
• Baking soda: Do not skip the baking soda it’s what helps your potatoes get crispy in the oven.
• Olive oil: Any oil will work here.

How to make crispy roasted potatoes

• Step 1: Peel the potatoes and cut them into quarters.
• Step 2: Transfer cut potatoes to a pot of water with baking soda, boil just until slightly soft.
• Step 3: Carefully, dump the potatoes into a colander to drain the water. Transfer the potatoes back to the pot and give the pot a good shake before adding in the oil, salt, and pepper. Gently toss the potatoes to coat well.
• Step 4: Transfer the coated potatoes to a large baking sheet and bake until crispy, flipping the potatoes halfway through. Garnish with fresh herbs, and minced garlic serve, and enjoy. 

Recipe Tips

• If you don’t have olive oil, you can use a different high smoke point oil You want an oil like avocado oil, sunflower oil, or grapeseed oil- one that can withstand a higher temperature in the oven without smoking. 
• You can line your sheet pan with parchment paper or use a silicone baking mat underneath of the potatoes. Either are good options to help make clean up easier. 
• Turn these into loaded crispy potatoes by adding some shredded cheese and bacon pieces during the last few minutes of baking and then serving with a dollop of sour cream and garnishing with some chopped green onions on top.
• Spread the potatoes out on the baking sheet in a single layer while cooking. 
• Store any leftover crispy potatoes in an airtight container to be kept in the fridge for up to 4 days. I would suggest using the oven or the Air Fryer to reheat these potatoes and restore their crispy edges.
