    Why this recipe works

    Although these yellow dutch baby potatoes complement an assortment of meat, poultry, seafood, and veggie dishes, what truly makes them special is that they're:

    • Quick and easy to make.
    • Requires only a few minutes of prepping (literally).
    • Peeling the skin off isn't necessary which makes this a low maintenance recipe
    • Ready in under 30 minutes.

    This is one of my go-to side dishes when I'm looking to whip up a quick and delicious side with minimal effort for dinner whether it's a casual weeknight or for a holiday gathering.

    Best potatoes used for roasting

    Red, fingerling, or Yukon gold/Dutch yellow potatoes are best when it comes to roasting. They have a waxy texture and moist flesh which makes them a great options for roasting compared to russet potatoes which have a drier flesh and are best when used for frying.

    Top tips

    1. After washing the potatoes, pat them dry with paper towels.
    2. Coat them well with extra virgin olive oil to prevent them from coming out dry after roasting.
    3. Don't forget to add salt.
    4. Feel free to line your baking sheet with parchment paper for easy clean-up.
    5. Parchment paper will also prevent them from sticking to the baking sheet.
    6. They will still turn golden brown when using parchment paper.
    7. Arrange the potatoes on a baking sheet with the flat side down and skin-side up (refer to recipe card below for detailed instructions).
    8. Do not overcrowd the pan this will prevent them from becoming nice and crisp.
    9. If doubling the recipe, use 2 baking sheets so you do not overcrowd the baking sheet.
    10. No need to flip them on the other side while roasting.
    11. Half way through the cooking process, gently slide a spatula under the potatoes to ensure they do not stick.
    12. By the way, feel free to get creative by using different seasonings like ranch or Cajun.
    13. If your potatoes are super small, leave them whole but use a fork to poke a few holes in them, so the steam escapes.

    How can I ensure that the potatoes turn on crispy on the outside and tender on the inside?

    Remember 3 things 1) Use paper towels to pat them dry thoroughly to remove any excess moisture; 2) When placing your potatoes in a single layer onto your baking sheet, do not crowd the pan; 3) Preheat your oven.

    This dish is very versatile and the good news is that you can experiment and get creative using seasonings that compliment each other.
