Simple Roasted Potatoes

These Simple Roasted Potatoes are so good! I pair them with pretty much anything, but on a whim last night I made a batch of them alongside my Simple Chicken and Gravy and HOLY DELICIOUS BATMAN!! I highly recommend giving that pairing a try; both recipes are ready in less than an hour and don’t call for many ingredients except seasoning, which you can adjust.

What You’ll Need to Make ‘Em

Feel free to jump to the full recipe, but here are useful notes about the ingredients you will need to make this Simple Roasted Potatoes recipe:

• Yukon gold potatoes: If you can’t find Yukon gold any potatoes listed as yellow should work as a substitute. Red potatoes will work, too. You want to use a waxy potato that won’t break apart as easily, rather than a starchy varietal like russet.
• Vegetable oil: I used avocado oil but any neutral-tasting oil with a high smoke point will work fine for this Simple Roasted Potatoes. The smoke point is important – using something like extra virgin olive oil might cause the exteriors to burn before the insides are cooked through.
• Kosher salt, granulated garlic, onion powder, dark chili powder, cayenne pepper, dried oregano:
• Equipment: You’ll need a cutting board, a chef’s knife, a large mixing bowl, a silicone spatula or wooden spoon, a baking sheet, and a silicone mat to make these Simple Roasted Potatoes. Parchment paper will work if you don’t have a mat (but consider investing in a few! You’ll save money in the long run, and they’re better for our planet).
