- Olive Oil / Butter: To make the potatoes crispy, pour oil while baking and before baking.
How to Make Roasted Potatoes
Remove the potato skin and cut it into 1 or 2 inches cubes. Wash it properly with cold water. Drain the water and make it dry using absorbent paper.
In a bowl, add honey and garlic paste and give it a good mix.
Now pour the honey garlic sauce over the potatoes and mix it well to evenly coat.
Preheat the oven at 425°F.
Set the baking tray with parchment paper and drizzle olive oil. Now place the potatoes on baking tray. Make them spaced to roast evenly from all directions.
Place the baking tray in the oven and bake for 20 minutes. After 20 minutes as the honey sauce starts to get dry and potatoes starts to get golden color, take out baking tray from oven and drizzle the oil over it and sprinkle garlic powder. Again bake it in oven for 20 minutes to get fully roasted potatoes.
After baking season the potatoes with salt and black pepper powder.

Tips to Roast Potatoes
- Cut the potato cube of 1 or 2 inches in size to get crispy texture after roasting.
- Dip the potatoes in cold water to release excess starch.
- Drain the water from the potatoes before cooking. Keep it in a strainer to release excess water. I placed the potatoes on absorbent paper to make them dry in texture.
- Never use salt on raw potatoes as it will release the natural water while cooking.
- Drizzle oil on a baking dish to cook the potatoes.
- Always bake the potatoes in a preheated oven.
- First bake the potatoes with honey garlic sauce, as the sauce starts to get dry during baking. Take the baking tray out from oven and drizzle oil over the potatoes and bake again until the potatoes turn to roasted brown color. This step will make the potatoes more crispy in texture. I adapt this technique and believe me, it works like a magic to make extremely crispy potato cubes.
Serving Ideas
I have so many ideas to present oven roasted potatoes as a side dish or just to enjoy as solo with different dips and sauces.
These potatoes can be serve with baked chicken as a side or with steaks. Tried with peppercorn sauce with steaks by skipping mashed potatoes.
Another idea is to serve with garlic butter fried rice and believe me it will make a best combo. Add broasted chicken to double the flavor.
Whenever I make honey garlic chicken, I use the leftover sauce to roast the potatoes and it always give me dual flavor dishes in short time.
Store And Use Leftover
Refrigerate the leftover potatoes in airtight container for 3 to 4 days. Reheat in preheated skillet at low heat. It will turn to semi crispy texture (not exactly the freshly roasted texture).
You can use the leftover roasted potatoes to make chapati rolls, mashed potatoes, use as calzone stuffing, make casseroles or simple mash to bake with pasta.
Q & A
Yes, you can! Garlic powder has strong empowering aroma that will add a perfect garlicky taste in potatoes. 1 teaspoon of fresh garlic paste = ½ teaspoon of garlic powder.
It's debatable as it depends upon oven temperatures. Usually 425F is the recommended temperature to roast potatoes and it takes 30 to 40 minutes to get done without wrapping in a foil. Make sure to use heavy material oven tray to bake potatoes.
Sometimes it become tricky to roast crispy potatoes with honey garlic flavor as honey make it soggy but here I adapt dual bake technique using oil. First baked the potatoes with honey garlic sauce, as the sauce starts to get dry during baking take out the baking tray and drizzle oil and bake again. This step will make the potatoes crispy.
