This is one of those recipes I’ve made hundreds of times but thought it was too “simple” to actually put on my blog … but friends and family I’ve made this for have asked for the recipe and assured me it isn’t too simple. So here you go: my Skillet Roasted Baby Potatoes. So easy, yet so tasty! They’re also gluten-free, dairy-free, vegan and whole30-compliant (although no one has to know that).
Skillet Roasted Baby Potatoes
When I can find a bag of just purple potatoes, I snap those up (they’re my favorites). But his recipe works perfect for petite/baby purple potatoes, red potatoes, gold potatoes or a mixture like I used here.
Pan-Fry a Little First
The trick to making these roasted baby potatoes so delicious is pan-“frying” them a little first. Then, you roast them in the oven. When I’m in a hurry or lazy, I’ll skip the pan-frying step … but they’re never as good when I do because the skin doesn’t get as crispy on the outside.
This is comfort food at its finest … and they’re also pretty without any fuss! On top of that, this Skillet Roasted Baby Potatoes recipe is naturally dairy-free, gluten-free, vegan and Whole30-compliant!
Pin it, save it and make it sometime. If you do, please let me know (you’ll make my day, I promise!)
