Herb roasted potatoes are an easy, versatile side dish perfect for autumn and winter meals. They pair well with many mains and adapt readily to different herb and spice blends for fresh flavors each time you make them.
If you can chop potatoes and bake at 350°F, you can prepare this recipe. The most challenging part is waiting while the potatoes bake — but the crispy, flavorful results make the patience worthwhile.
These potatoes are very forgiving. To change the character of the dish, swap the herb blend or omit the Parmesan for a vegetarian or vegan option. You can easily double the recipe for gatherings or halve it for smaller meals.
Variations:
Try different herb and spice combinations to create new tastes: rosemary and thyme for a classic roast flavor; oregano and basil for Italian notes; simple salt and pepper for a clean, comforting side; red pepper flakes and cilantro for a touch of heat and brightness; or a ranch seasoning mix for a tangy twist. Omit the cheese for vegan menus or use a plant-based alternative.
Make It a Meal:
Herb roasted potatoes work well as a holiday side for Thanksgiving or Christmas, and they complement weeknight mains equally well. Serve them alongside roasted chicken, grilled steaks, or a coffee-rubbed pork roast for a satisfying plate.

How to Store Herb Roasted Potatoes:
Refrigerator: Let leftovers cool, then store in a covered container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
Freezer: Raw potatoes don’t freeze well. Instead, bake the potatoes, cool completely, then wrap or seal tightly and freeze for up to two months. Reheat in the oven for best texture.
