See the printable recipe card below for a full list of ingredients and measurements.
Substitutions and Variations
- Potatoes. Use any type of potatoes you prefer: Baby potatoes, red potatoes, Yukon Gold potatoes, russet potatoes, etc.
- Oil. Use avocado oil instead.
- Seasoning. Add onion powder, chili powder, Italian seasoning, oregano, dried dill, cayenne pepper, or Cajun seasoning. Or season to taste with salt and pepper.

How To Make Convection Oven Roasted Potatoes
Step By Step Instructions
Step 1: Heat oven to 425 degrees F (400 degrees F if baking in a convection oven).
Step 2: Combine garlic powder, paprika, seasoning salt, and black pepper with olive oil in a large bowl.
Step 3: Cut potatoes into 1 to 2-inch pieces. Toss with the oil and seasoning mixture.
Step 4: Transfer potatoes to a parchment paper-lined sheet pan in an even layer. Do not overcrowd. Use two baking pans if necessary.
Step 5: Cook potatoes for 30-35 minutes until crispy. Flip halfway during cooking time. Serve immediately.
Serving Suggestions
I love to serve these as a side dish with Boneless Air Fryer Chicken Thighs, BBQ Pork Ribs in Instant Pot, or Classic Meatloaf With Oatmeal.
They also go great with Pellet Smoked Tuna Steaks, Pellet Smoked 3-2-1 Ribs, and Oven Baked Maple Glazed Salmon.
They make great breakfast potatoes alongside Spinach Feta Mushroom Omelette, Baked Denver Omelet, or Baked Overnight Eggnog French Toast Casserole.
Expert Tips
- Cut the veggies the same size so they cook evenly.
- Use parchment paper to prevent sticking to the pan. I tried oiling the pan instead, but they stuck to the pan, which resulted in mushy potatoes and a hard-to-clean pan.
- Use two baking sheets if you need to.
- Flip or toss halfway through the baking time.
Common Questions
These crispy oven-roasted potatoes require a bake time of about 30-35 minutes, depending on the size of your potatoes.
No, you do not need to boil potatoes before roasting them in the oven.
The best potatoes for roasting are those that have a low to medium starch content. My top choices are Yukon Gold, russet potatoes, red potatoes, fingerling potatoes, and new potatoes.
If your oven-roasted potatoes aren't turning out crispy, you may not have used enough oil, the potatoes are too close together, or you didn't flip them halfway through cooking. They may also need a little longer to cook.
Storage
Refrigerator
Store leftover potatoes in an airtight container for 3-4 days.
Freezer
Place them in a single layer on a baking sheet to freeze them initially, then transfer them to a freezer bag. Freeze for up to 2 months.
Reheating
Reheat them in the oven, air fryer, or on a skillet over the stove with a little bit of oil or butter until hot.

Recipe Notes:
- Ensure the potatoes are cut the same size so they cook evenly.
- Use parchment paper to prevent the potatoes from sticking to the pan. I tried oiling the pan instead but they stuck, resulting in mushy potatoes and a hard-to-clean pan.
