Maybe this is weird, but do you think you could substitute in sweet potatoes? Or is there a good rule of thumb for when that’s a good or bad idea?
You can, but generally sweet potatoes may take a bit longer to cook (and they don’t crisp up quite as well)
I never know what to do when it comes to spices! Help! Do you use ground or leaves, if it doesn’t specify?
Hi Jennie, if it doesn’t specify I usually use the dried leaves.
Hi Mel,
I want to make this recipe for a large group (50-60) for my husbands 5oth! I was thinking I’d make the seasoning a day ahead of time and refrigerate. Can I cut the potatoes a day ahead of time too?
Unfortunately, the potatoes don’t do well if cut ahead of time because they turn brown.
Loved these – made several times.
My family loved this recipe! And I loved that I could make it quick from ingredients I already had! Well actually- i didn’t have thyme, so I left it out, but it still tasted delicious!
Hi! Do you know how many people this serves? Thanks!
Around 6-ish, depending on the appetites. 🙂
Wonderful recipe!!! I served it with your Pork Loin with Balsamic Glaze and it was a delicious meal. Thanks again, Mel!
I love your bowl as well. How fun. These potatoes are awesome. I have red potatoes just sitting around from my produce co op and now I don’t think they will be sitting around because I have found this recipe. Thanks!
We just had these with little butter potatoes (I think similar to red potatoes) and they were so yummy; crispy outside and soft on the inside. The herb combination was perfect. This will be my go to recipe for roasted potatoes as I’ve been on the hunt for a good one. Thanks!
Hi,
I don’t have any red potatoes. Do you think russet potatoes would work?
Thanks!
Anna – I’ve never made these potatoes with russet but it’s worth a try. They will have a tendency to break apart while baking, turning more than reds so be gentle with that step.
I just made these last night and they were a HUGE hit! Everyone was raving about the amazing potatoes! Thanks for such a great recipe!!! I love your site!
These sound very similar to the breakfast potatoes my dad makes except he adds fennel seed as well. Yum!
I love how your GF week has meals that just about anyone could enjoy. These potatoes look great!
I have potatoes growing in my garden. When they are ready I will be trying this recipe. I am new to your site. I have booked marked it in my favorites.
roasted potatoes are wonderful…I love them!! yours are so nicely seasoned..yumm
Hi Mel. Though these potatoes sound wonderful…my comment has nothing to do with them. Where did you find that beautiful bowl they were photographed in? It is lovely.
Can’t wait to try the potatoes. I’m sure they’re awesome!
Hi Christie – I’m glad you noticed my bowl! I received it for a wedding present over eight years ago, but it is a bowl from Hallmark and has a quote by Maya Angelou scrawled across it. It is my favorite thing to serve anything in! I googled to see if it is still available and came up with this link, in case it helps:

I have a whole garden full of red potatoes and I needed a good recipe to use them up, this sounds yummy. I also made your Mushroom Chicken Zucchini last night and it was wonderful!
I loved the combo of herbs you chose. It reminds me of a question I’ve been long meaning to ask. Do you have a recipe for a homemade Italian dressing? I love Italian dressing, but often used the store bought seasoning (due to the lack of a good recipe) and then add the oil and water. But I hate all the extra garbage you find in store bought products. If any one can solve my delima you can! Thanks in advance for your help!
Hi Leisel, I don’t have a recipe for homemade Italian dressing – at least one that I swear by. If I find a great one, I’ll let you know!
What a great recipe! I could make a meal out of potatoes…perhaps not that great for me but they are so versitale.
I’m so glad you do not peel the potatoes. To me the peels are half the fun (and half the nutrition).
These look perfectly cooked and the recipe is so simple-nice. I can’t wait till the potatoes around here start to look edible (smile).
These look great! I LOVE potatoes, and could eat them every single day in some form or another! I could ramble on and on about the many ways I like to prepare them (like Bubba in Forest Gump rambles on about shrimp!), but this looks like a great new way to try them! Thanks, Melanie! 🙂
A staple in our house! I could probably eat roasted potatoes for every dinner alone.
ah, the humble roasted tater–is there anything that can compliment so many different entrees? 🙂
