Are red potatoes the best for oven roasting?

I love using red potatoes for roasting as they have that yummy creamy texture that really blends and pairs so well with herbs or spices and parmesan cheese.

You can use the petite or mini baby red potatoes but I prefer using the full sized red potatoes. I find when you cut them and expose more of the potato flesh, it gives more of that delicious crispy flavor when roasted than the smaller ones.

Roasted red skin potatoes are amazing for making these garlic parmesan roasted red potatoes and go so well with any chicken recipes like my fried chicken air fryer recipe.

Try my other potato side dishes like Cracker Barrel hashbrown casserole and the amazing cheesy hashbrown casserole with corn flakes topping.

Ingredients

Substitutions

If you do not have red potatoes on hand you can substitute using Russet, Yukon Gold, or white potatoes for roasting.

Substitute in your favorite spices or to make it spicy add some cayenne pepper (¼ to ½ teaspoon).

Substitute in parmesan cheese for the Parmigiano cheese when making the red roasted potatoes. You can also make them without putting the parmesan on top as pictured above. They are amazing both ways!
