Perfect Side Dish

These crispy roasted potatoes are a crowd-pleaser! Red potatoes have a naturally creamy texture and hold their shape beautifully when roasted.

Why Red Potatoes?

  • Gentle on digestion: Less starchy than russets
  • Nutrient-dense skin: Rich in fiber and potassium
  • Lower glycemic: Won't spike blood sugar as much
  • Versatile: Pairs with any protein

Serving Suggestions

  • Perfect with roasted chicken or fish
  • Great for breakfast with eggs
  • Serve alongside grilled vegetables
  • Add to grain bowls for extra substance

Make Them Crispy

The key to crispy roasted potatoes:

  • Don't overcrowd the pan—use two sheets if needed
  • Make sure potatoes are well-coated with oil
  • Don't flip too often—let them develop a crust
  • Roast on the lower rack for extra crispiness
