These roasted red potatoes are the perfect side dish for any meal. They're crispy on the outside, fluffy on the inside, and packed with flavor. The key to getting the perfect roasted potatoes is to use a high heat and to not overcrowd the pan. This will allow the potatoes to roast evenly and develop a crispy exterior. These potatoes are also seasoned with a simple blend of herbs and spices that will enhance their natural flavor. We like to use a combination of oregano, basil, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper, but you can adjust the seasonings to your taste.
