I have been making oven roasted potatoes for a few months and my family can’t get enough of them. They snarf them down so quickly that there are never leftovers. The recipe is simple and is a great alternative to fries.
Oven Roasted Potatoes
Ingredients
- 4-6 Potatoes
- 1-2 Tbsp. Olive Oil or Melted Bacon Grease
- Salt
- Pepper
- Paprika
Instructions
- Peel and cut the potatoes into chunks.
- Place the potatoes on a large baking sheet or pan.
- Drizzle the potatoes with the olive oil or bacon grease and toss to coat.
- Spread the potatoes out on the baking sheet.
- Sprinkle salt, pepper, and paprika over all of the potatoes.
- Bake in a preheated 400 degree oven for 25-30 minutes, or until potatoes are tender but not mushy.
Notes
I prefer to use bacon grease because it adds a good flavor to the potatoes. I also use a baking sheet with sides to prevent any grease or oil from rolling off the sides.
Peeling the potatoes is something I do for my family, but you can leave the skins on and the results should still be the same.
Large potatoes are what I use but not the huge ones. You can make as many or as few potatoes as you choose, just add more or less oil/grease as needed.
