Allrecipes community member Njchung shares a popular pro tip for this recipe: "We let the potatoes marinate for about an hour before baking, and it boosts the flavor so much."
Ingredients
3 pounds small red new potatoes, halved
¼ cup olive oil
1 teaspoon salt, plus freshly ground black pepper to taste
Directions
Gather all your ingredients first. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C), and adjust the oven rack to the lowest position in the oven.
Add the halved potatoes to a large mixing bowl, then toss them thoroughly with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Arrange the potatoes in an even single layer on a rimmed baking sheet (or jelly roll pan), with the cut side of each potato facing down.
Roast the potatoes in the preheated oven until they are fork-tender and golden brown all over, which will take 20 to 30 minutes. Once done, transfer the roasted potatoes to your favorite serving dish.
Serve hot, and enjoy!
