Perfectly seasoned and infused with the flavors of garlic and onion, tender Oven Roasted Garlic Potatoes are a versatile and easy side dish!
We love easy side dishes that take little effort and have great flavor. While the baby potatoes take a little longer to cook this way, the prep is very simple and they can roast while you’re making everything else!
What You’ll Need to Make Oven Roasted Garlic Potatoes
- Baby Potatoes – White, red, yellow or any combination of colors. You can substitute regular potatoes with the skins left on, cut into bite sized pieces if you prefer.
- Onion – We use one small yellow onion, cut into bite sized pieces. This is about a cup. White onions, sweet onions, red onions, or even shallots may be used instead.
- Garlic Cloves – We use large garlic cloves, coarsely chopped. You can use more (or less) depending on taste. The roasting in the oven mellows the flavors. You can substitute garlic paste, minced garlic, chopped garlic, or in a pinch, use a teaspoon of garlic powder.
- Olive Oil – We use extra virgin olive oil but any olive oil, avocado oil, vegetable oil or canola oil may be used for this recipe.
- Pantry Staples – Kosher salt and coarse ground pepper.

I make potatoes with oil and a little salt.
Michelle Mundy says
We do that sometimes too but the garlic is such a nice addition! 🙂

Whenever I have tried roasting potatoes in the oven, they have come out hard and crispy. Yours look great.
The Bandit says
I think it is a combination of the olive oil and the glass dish that keep them from getting too crispy. If I make them on a baking sheet then they are too crispy because of the way the baking sheet is (and the darker the sheet the crispier they get!). Let me know if you try them and how they turn out for you. 🙂
