Main Ingredients

This recipe uses super easy ingredients that can be purchased from a local grocery store if they are not already in your kitchen. Read the Recipe Card for the measurements.

• Potatoes – Russet potatoes are perfect to make these crispy roasted potatoes. We like keeping the skins on, it adds to the crunchiness and contains a lot of nutrients. Potatoes are considered a superfood and have became more popular recently as they are a staple of the Blue Zone movement, a popular study documenting the five parts of the world where people live longer than anywhere else.
• Olive Oil – Using a little olive oil to coat the potato slices helps ensure they will come out nice and crispy.
• Rosemary – We like the flavor of rosemary, but you can also use thyme, oregano, or your favorite spice!
• Salt and Pepper – Adding salt and pepper to taste just adds to the flavor of these amazing roasted potatoes.

How to make Crispy Oven Roasted Potatoes:

Step 1: Prep It

• Set the oven rack to the middle position and preheat to 425 degrees F.
• If using a cast iron skillet, preheat the skillet in the oven. Otherwise, spray a sheet pan with cooking spray and set aside.

Step 2: Slice It

• Wash the potatoes and cut into even slices, about 1/2 inch wide.

Step 3: Season It

• In a large bowl, combine the potatoes, olive oil, rosemary and pepper. Mix well to combine.

Step 4: Roast It

• Remove cast iron skillet from oven, if using. Be very careful, the skillet will be extremely hot.
• Arrange the potatoes on a sheet pan or skillet in a single layer. Do not overcrowd them, as that will steam the potatoes.
• Roast in the preheated 425 degree oven for 20-25 minutes, flip, season with salt and roast for an additional 5-7 minutes, until crispy and golden brown.

• Once potatoes are golden brown on both sides, remove from oven.

Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce.
