Roasted Potatoes

Jump to Recipe - Print Recipe

These are the easiest and best roasted potatoes: crispy on the outside and fluffy inside. Enjoy!

One day last week, we awoke early and started to prepare a hearty breakfast, in anticipation of a busy day ahead.

I put the kettle on the stove, preheated the oven for some gluten free Joan’s bagels, started a pot of water to boil for sausages, and prepared a frittata. Once the sausages finished boiling for 20 minutes, my dear husband fired up the grill and took the sausages outside for grilling. The smells of the breakfast cooking wooed the children down to the kitchen.

Even though we each had a lot planned for the day, he suggested that we pack up the breakfast and take it to our favorite waterfront park for a picnic.

It didn’t take much to convince us. My son, who is always up for a photo opportunity, grabbed his camera. I reached for the picnic basket, another prepared bottled water in the cooler, another grabbed the frisbee. In no time at all, we were on our way.

It was a beautiful day. The geese were funny and even wanted to join in our frisbee game. We laughed and talked and put aside our cares for a while.

If you’re feeling overwhelmed, today, with an extensive to do list, why not take a break preferably near a lake or river? Walking by the water is simply relaxing. Whether you take all your children, just your sweetheart or invite a friend, carving time out from your busy schedule will do you wonders. We only spent a little more than an hour on our picnic, but each one of us was refreshed and ready to tackle our to do lists. Indeed, we will always have the special memory of this precious time together.

Glorious Hudson River

You can find the recipe for my scrumptious frittata here. I sprinkled leftover chopped broccoli over one half and diced ham over the other half.

The bagels are from Joan’s. The uncooked bagel dough comes frozen and all you have to do is defrost and bake for 22 minutes for wonderful fresh, hot gluten free bagels. (Update: Unfortunately, these bagels are no longer available.)

The sausages were Premio Italian Sweet sausage. We also brought cut up watermelon, coffee and roasted potatoes.

Yes. We had some roasted potatoes leftover from dinner the night before. I realize that I have never shared the recipe here on the blog. So here’s the easy recipe for roasted potatoes.

Ingredients 

I use russet potatoes because they’re the most starchy and the best type for roasting tossed with extra-virgin olive oil and some garlic powder and salt. Yum.

Instructions

*Free printable recipe card is available at the end of the post.
 
Preheat your oven to 450℉.
 
Then peel and cut up your potatoes into bite-size pieces. Now toss the potatoes in a baking dish with oil, garlic, and salt. And pop them in the oven until golden brown. 
 
You’ll want to turn them over half way through, really getting under them and scraping them from the pan. This often results in thin little bits that get extra crispy. These crunchy bits are my kids’ favorite part. 🙂

Pro tips and recipe notes

  • If you want to keep the potatoes from sticking, you can line your baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • I always remove potato skins since reading that potentially toxic glycoalkaloids which repel pests are concentrated in the skin of the potato.

Need to feed a crowd? Roasted potatoes are sure to get two thumbs up from everyone at your table. Enjoy!

A barge on the river. A reminder that the Hudson River Valley is a busy and exciting place to live.

Our spontaneous picnic was a wonderful refreshment. Daily walks around the neighborhood are another favorite time out from our busy agendas. Where do you go to refocus your day? Leave a comment below.

    Love how you took a morning breakfast and turned it into a family outing. I work in a kitchen where I serve a lot of guest gluten free meals. Love these recipes and you are such a great resource to so many that are just finding out they can’t have gluten. Keep up the amazing work! Love it!
