I am shopping around for a good roasted potato recipe and I see some out there that call for soaking the potato wedges in cold water for an hour before baking. Apparently, that process removes starch. What is your take on soaking in cold water before roasting? Take it or leave it? I really like your recipes and trust your judgement.
Hi Tricia! I personally haven’t done this when roasting potatoes, I don’t think it’s needed. I do soak my potatoes in hot when I am making french fries. You can find my technique here and explanations about it in this blog post: https://www.wellplated.com/baked-fries/
These were absolutely fantastic! I opted for the fresh rosemary and added large onion pieces. Delicious and simple! Even my daughter who doesnt like potatoes ate them!
Me and my kids made it at home. We added a few of our own seasonings, and the flavor was delicious. The recipe was very easy to follow and didn’t require much time.
I made half of the recipe and didn’t add salt at all since my husband is on a sodium restriction. Will be making again as this was so flavorful and easy to make. Thank you for the recipe.
The potatoes were good but didn’t need to bake for 45 min. Mine almost overcooked. I decided to take one out and try it and they had only been in the oven for 30 minutes. Could be the difference in the ovens. I am going to try it again and watch them a little closer.
Hi Erma, so glad you enjoyed them! Yes, all ovens are different and some may run hotter or cooler than others. Good intuition based on your personal oven! Thanks!
Definitely a BANGER! Delicious tender inside and crispy outside. My husband loved them. We had them with barbecued ribs and they were perfect together. Definitely a new family favorite!
Simple is always the best. Our family loved these! We also had some fun making these oven roasted potatoes. Served them together with grilled chicken breast. Totally recommend it for any potato lover!
I love to make my husband home cooked meals so he can have leftovers at work. Both of us loved these potatoes! I only had to bake for 40 minutes and they were perfectly tender. Thank you for sharing!
I absolutely love Yukon/small yellow potatoes. Why in the world don’t I roast them more often?! So delicious. Crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. And I love all the ideas for different flavor adjustments depending on your mood.
The flavors from these combined seasonings were perfect for the small yellow potatoes. I even added some baby carrots to test how they would taste and they were delicious. When my picky husband says it’s good… that’s the ultimate compliment! I will definitely be making this regularly.
As advertised, crispy and delicious!
I’m so happy that you enjoyed the recipe, Joseph! Thank you for sharing this kind review!
