Oven Roasted Red Potatoes
The amount of the ingredients can be adjusted depending on how many people you are planning on feeding. If the potatoes are small enough, you can determine if you have enough by what is in the bag.
By the time they are cut up, they will take the same amount of space as they do now, so it is easy to see if they will fill up your bowl. You can adjust the butter with the number of potatoes – about a tbsp per 3 small potatoes. I make this in smaller amounts as a side dish for dinner all of the time.
My boys love this recipe because it’s hearty and a huge comfort food recipe in our house!
What is the best way to cut potatoes evenly into squares?
Potatoes can be prepared into even squares by slicing with a sharp knife, using a food processor, or a vegetable chopper.
When slicing with a knife, the key is to cut pieces of identical size and thickness. The easiest way to do this is to create slices and stack them together before chopping them into squares again.
If one has access to a food processor with an adjustable cutting blade, it is possible to increase or decrease the thickness setting.
Finally, when all else fails, a standard vegetable chopper can help obtain uniformly sized cubes in no time.
Each method requires some practice for best results but will lead to evenly cut potatoes in any shape desired.

How do you know when potatoes are done cooking in the oven?
Roasting potatoes in the oven is a popular and simple way to prepare this versatile vegetable. To ensure the potatoes are cooked through and tender, it is important to pay attention to the signs that indicate they are done cooking.
One of these indicators is that the potatoes will be golden brown outside. This color signifies that your potatoes have been exposed to high heat for a long enough time to become crunchy and golden brown on the outside and soft on the inside.
Additionally, when pierced with a knife or fork, you can check for doneness by ensuring any resistance meets no resistance. If you insert a knife or fork into your potato and twist it easily, this means that your potato has cooked properly.
Finally, a good indication of doneness is if the potato gives off steam–the water vapor being released from within when heated indicates that your potatoes are fully cooked!

This simple roasted potato recipe is one that is perfect all year long! Make it for a great side dish that everyone will love!
Ingredients
- .3 lbs. of red potatoes (the smaller the better)
- Cracked or ground black pepper
- Onion salt
- 1 stick of butter or margarine (I prefer 1.5 sticks, but that is up to you)
- Aluminum foil
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees
- Wash the potatoes thoroughly, then cut them into cubes no bigger than an inch. Put the potatoes on the NON-reflective side of the foil. Cut the butter into slices and put it on top of the potatoes. Season with onion, salt, and pepper as you like (I would take it easy, though everyone’s taste is different).
- Bring up the sides of the foil and roll them together, then do the same with the other sides. This should make a pouch that looks like this. Shake the pouch a little to distribute the seasonings and butter.
- Place the pouch on a cookie sheet and bake in the oven for 40-45 minutes. Open one end of the pouch VERY CAREFULLY because there will be a lot of steam, and it can burn you, and pour the potatoes into a bowl. You are done. Go have fun and watch everyone devour your potatoes!
