Which Potatoes Are Best For Oven Roasting

My favorite potatoes when baking up a batch of these crunchy beauties is Red or Russet potatoes. The crisp up really well and I just love the flavor of these potatoes best.

Yukon Gold, in my experience, do better as mashed potatoes. They tend to be a little drier and do not roast as well. But, this is just my opinion so experiment a bit until you find what works best for you.

How Do You Make Oil-Free Oven Roasted Potatoes

You can make these spectacular spuds in 4 easy steps.

Boil
Chop
Season
Bake

Yes, I know. Really complicated. But, let us proceed.

Start by preheating your oven to 450˚F.

Next, place your potatoes in a pot, cover with water, and boil them for about 5 minutes. You want them just tender enough to pierce with a knife or a fork, but not mushy. We’re not trying to cook them, but just soften them up a bit. This will let the potato crisp up on the outside, but stay soft and moist on the inside.

Once the potatoes are done boiling chop them into 1″ pieces and spread them evenly on your baking sheet. Now, just season and bake.

Pop them into a 450˚F oven and let them roast for about 30 minutes or until they start to brown. That’s it!
