Kitchen Tools You'll Need to Make Easy Oven Roasted Potatoes

Easy recipes like this one don't require special equipment to make. Typically you'll have everything you need already in your pantry to prep the potatoes for baking. Just a quick rundown, you'll need a large sheet pan for roasting, potato peeler or sharp paring knife to peel the potatoes, a chopping board and knife to cube  the potatoes, a small bowl and a whisk or fork to mix together the seasonings, plus a large bowl for soaking the potatoes prior to baking.

Helpful Tips for Making Easy Oven Roasted Potatoes Recipe

• The secret to crispy potatoes is taking time to soak them for one hour in cold water prior to baking. When doing so, it draws out some of the starch resulting in a tender on the inside, crispy on the outside potato.
• You can use russet, Idaho or Yukon gold potatoes for this recipe, as they all have similar starch content. Please note, each variety of potatoes will cook slightly differently so test them and adjust the baking time accordingly.
• Are you cooking for two? You can easily adapt this recipe using any amount of potatoes. Reduce and adapt the seasonings to your taste.
• Ingredients you'll need to complete this recipe:  Russet potatoes, salt, garlic powder, black pepper, granulated garlic, onion powder, fresh thyme and parsley.
• If you're not one to have parchment paper handy you can certainly use roast these potatoes directly on the baking sheet or a baking sheet lined with foil. Lightly spray the parchment paper and foil with cooking spray or  brush the baking sheet with cooking oil.
• After they have cooled completely, store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. You can reheat in the microwave, although they will have a softer exterior. You can carefully reheat in a 375°F oven or in an air fryer for a few minutes, but use caution. Overcooking could make them too crispy on the outside.
• Just before serving, you may drizzle these potatoes with melted butter, if desired. You can also serve them topped with a dollop of sour cream.
