How much do you love potatoes?
Its one of my favorite guilty pleasures and occasionally, I let myself indulge in a delicious potato recipe
Tip for working with them
– Just like with sweet potatoes, make sure you wash, wash, wash and wash some more.
– Where possible, keep the skin on for the cooking process
– Oven-roast these baby potatoes instead of cooking them stove top or microwaving them. I find that oven roasting them cooks them more evenly
– Store them in a cool, dry place and use them up within a month of purchasing them

Lebanese potatoes
This spicy potatoes recipe makes use of honey gold potatoes which are simply little pieces of heaven!
I made the in the air fryer using easy to find ingredients. One of the ingredients is my all time favorite. I use tahini almost every day! It’s a healthy recipe, packed with so many delicious ingredients.
Creole potatoes
A mix of baby potatoes and red potatoes make this a really fun recipe to make. Cook it in the dutch oven and you will get the perfectly cooked potatoes, peas and onions!
This recipe also gets to use my favorite homemade creole seasoning recipe which takes 5 minutes to make. The seasoning also has a long shelf life.

Foil packet potatoes
Going camping? Or you just want a fuss-free dinner side dish? Or you don’t want to use pots and pans because of the clean up afterwards?
Cooking food in foil packets is a very old tradition. Its an efficient way of making dinner and even the most cooking challenged will love cooking method.
The recipe is as easy as putting the veggies into a foil pocket and placing it in the oven. Or, let a campfire cook it.
Roasted potatoes with broccoli
Know someone who doesn’t like broccoli?
Does that same person devour potato recipes?
I think this recipe would be perfect for them because they can get the best of both worlds. Besides, the broccoli will taste so much better when mixed with baby potatoes

If you haven’t tried my cilantro pesto recipe, you are seriously missing out on a delicious pesto.
This pesto is not only great in pasta, its also perfect with roasted potatoes. You haven’t had potatoes quite like this before

Buttery, garlicky potatoes
Garlic! Sage! Vegan Butter! All in sinful amounts!
Is there anything better than that?
I made individual sized garlic sage butter roasted baby potatoes about 3 years ago. To date, this is still my favorite way to cook baby potatoes. No one wants to share their roasted baby potatoes, so, this is best method for cooking them, if you ask me

Answering your questions
Roasted Baby Potatoes should be cooked at 350° and roasted for about 20-25 minutes. This is the ideal temperature when I cook them in the oven when laid out on a sheet pan
If I am cooking them in a container like this (affiliate link) individual covered casserole dish, I like to up the temperature and the cooking time. For that, I set the temp at 400° and cook for 25 minutes at a minimum
No, you don’t need to peel baby potatoes. Oven roasted baby potatoes always have their skin left unpeeled. If you boil baby potatoes, then, the skin needs to be peeled.
In fact, all 3 of the above roasted baby potato recipes have their skin on during the cooking process. I highly recommend oven roasting baby potatoes and keeping the skin on because it adds so much texture to any recipe.
Place baby potatoes in an open basket type of container and place it in a cool, dark area of the pantry. They should be good for a month
I am guilty of putting them in the refrigerator because I tend to buy too much. Since I am always worried about them going bad if I don’t use them in time, I place them in a vegetable bag and then put them in the vegetable section of the fridge
Not sure if this a good thing, but, it has worked very well for me.
