Choosing the Best Kind of Potato
Not all potatoes roast the same. Here’s a quick guide to help you get the best results:
- Fingerling potatoes or baby potatoes have a naturally buttery flavor and thin skin – These are what I recommend using for this recipe!
- Yukon gold and other yellow potatoes give a creamy center with crisp edges
- Red potatoes are firmer and fall into the waxy potatoes category
- Russet potatoes are a classic floury potato that creates extra crispy edges
- White potatoes are mild and versatile
- Sweet potatoes offer a slightly sweet twist
In the UK, varieties like maris pipers and king edwards are often used for the best crispy roast potatoes.
Ingredients for Gluten Free Oven Roasted Potatoes
- 1.5 lbs fingerling or baby potatoes, halved lengthwise
- 2–3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil or Avocado oil (I don’t recommend using Vegetable oil)
- 1 teaspoon sea salt (adjust to taste)
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
Optional add-ins:
- Dried organic oregano or thyme
- Fresh herbs like oregano or thyme
- Fresh Parsley for garnish
- Swap oil for goose fat if not keeping it a vegan option
How to Make Gluten Free Roasted Potatoes
This easy recipe is the easiest way to get crispy potatoes every single time.
- Preheat the oven
Preheat your oven to a high temperature of 425°F and place your baking pan inside the oven to preheat. - Prep the potatoes
Wash and dry the potatoes thoroughly, then slice them in half lengthwise or in potato chunks depending on the type of potato you are using. This helps them roast evenly and develop those crispy edges. - Season
Place the potatoes in a large bowl and drizzle with olive oil. Add the sea salt, black pepper, garlic powder, paprika, and any optional fresh herbs. Toss until evenly coated. - Arrange for crispiness
Spread the potatoes in a single layer on the baking sheet, placing them cut side down. This is the secret ingredient for achieving crispy potatoes. I prefer to use a stoneware baking pan, as it helps get them extra crispy. - Roast
Roast for 25–30 minutes, or until the potatoes are golden brown and crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. The exact cooking time depends on the size and kind of potato. - Serve
Remove from the oven and serve warm. These pair perfectly with burgers, grilled meats, or your favorite dipping sauce.

Yes! Potatoes are naturally gluten free, and this recipe uses only simple, whole ingredients, making this recipe perfect for a gluten free diet.
