Versatile Crispy Potatoes Recipe

For a savory supper side dish or accompaniment to your eggs at breakfast, you can’t do better than these Oven Roasted Crispy Potatoes. Seasoned to perfection, these potatoes are deliciously crisp on the outside and tender on the inside.

Sheet Pan Potatoes for a Crowd

I love skillet potatoes, but it’s not often I get to cook for a small group. These sheet pan crispy potatoes feed a crowd and everyone loves them! I’ve made these for dinner with roasted chicken or burgers and for breakfast with scrambled eggs and bacon. Just be warned. They go quick!

Substitutions

I chose baby Yukon gold potatoes for their creamy texture. If you can’t find the petite version, you can always buy medium sized Yukon gold potatoes and cut them into 1/2 inch pieces. Baby red potatoes would also work in a pinch.

The Best Potato for the Job

What kind of potato should you use in stew? Which potatoes are best for baking? Here’s my go-to guide for choosing the best potato for whatever you’re making.

• Mashed potatoes: Yukon gold potatoes are perfect for mashed potatoes and twice-baked potatoes because they whip up so creamy and not-too-starchy.
• Baked potatoes: Russet potatoes bake up with a crisp, delicious skin.
• Beef stew: Baby Yukon gold potatoes or baby red potatoes soak up the flavor while holding their shape.
• Oven-roasted: Baby red potatoes, baby gold potatoes, and fingerling potatoes are the perfect size for roasting up crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. Their skins are delicate, so you don’t need to peel them.
• Potato Salad: I prefer petite potatoes like baby red or baby gold for potato salad, especially if I intend to keep the skins on. They boil to become tender without falling apart.
