Looking for an easy, no-fuss roasted potatoes recipe?

These Crispy Rosemary Oven-Roasted Baby Potatoes are the most hassle-free, simple potatoes you’ll find.

Plus, these roasted potatoes are Whole30 and Paleo compliant. Pair this healthy side dish with grilled chicken or grass-fed steak and a garden salad. What a wonderfully nourishing meal!

How To Get Perfect Oven-Roasted Potatoes

The key to getting a perfectly roasted crisp exterior actually lies in the technique.

First, before adding the oil and seasonings, make sure your potatoes are completely dry. When you cut them in half, you want to double check to make sure the cut sides are dry as well. This will ensure that the potatoes actually roast and not steam.

Second, after seasoning, place the potatoes with the cut side down on the baking pan. And that’s it. No need to flip or disturb them in any way. I liken this process to how you would cook steak on a cast iron skillet. You don’t want to disturb the meat until it naturally releases from the skillet, creating the most perfect beautiful golden crust. The same concept applies to roasted potatoes.

Don’t do anything to the potatoes until the last 5 minutes of roasting. Then, simply change the oven from bake (or roast) to broil. This method will ensure that they are perfectly roasted and golden crispy.
