    These 3 Ingredient Crispy Seasoned Red Potatoes are an easy side dish recipe for any meal

    This recipe for 3-Ingredient Crispy Seasoned Red Potatoes is one of those easy side dishes that you'll turn to over and over again to complete your meal. With just 10 minutes of prep, the zesty potatoes are roasted in the oven for a charred exterior and a tender, buttery inside!

    This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of OLD BAY. All opinions are 100% mine.

    Side dishes can be such a tricky part of the meal. In all honesty, we have a few favorites around here that we repeatedly make -- and they are all incredibly easy. Since I'm already focused on the main course, a side of vegetables or grains is often an afterthought!

    If I'm not steaming a bag of broccoli or corn in the microwave, then I'm probably roasting some seasoned red potatoes in the oven. They're a simple, nourishing, family-friendly option that doesn't require much fuss!

    Since I serve these red potatoes so often, I've definitely perfected my favorite recipe. The best news of all? It only requires 3 ingredients!

    How To Make Crispy Seasoned Red Potatoes

    You'll start by chopping the red potatoes into halves (for very small potatoes) or quarters (for larger potatoes).

    Then comes the good part! My mother-in-law is a Maryland native, so she has raised sons (and grandsons) who love anything and everything that's seasoned with OLD BAY! The versatile zesty and bold blend of 18 herbs and spices just cannot be duplicated.

    OLD BAY is the original seafood seasoning preferred by Mid-Atlantic locals for over 75 years, and my boys use it to enhance a variety of our favorite dishes. It brings out the best in seafood, as well as French fries, scrambled eggs, corn on the cob, and of course -- red potatoes!

    In this particular recipe, you'll whisk the OLD BAY into olive oil, and then shake the potatoes with the olive oil and seasoning in a large bag until they're completely coated.

    Dump the potatoes onto a rimmed baking sheet and roast them in the oven for about 30-40 minutes. That's it!!!

    So easy, right?! Just like the OLD BAY seasoning, these potatoes are incredibly versatile and pair nicely with almost any entree. We have enjoyed them with hamburgers and hotdogs for a Labor Day cookout, with grilled salmon and shrimp, and with roasted chicken. They would be wonderful breakfast potatoes served with an omelet, too!

    Recipes To Serve Your Seasoned Red Potatoes With;

    • 3 ingredient apricot glazed chicken
    • Garlic and herb poached salmon
    • 4 ingredient baked salmon
    • Grilled honey lime shrimp
    • Golden baked chicken breasts

You'll find delicious recipes like Old Bay Pulled Chicken or Sheet Pan Fish and Chips -- both of which would be tasty served with these seasoned red potatoes!!!

      Superb blog you have here but I was curious about if you knew of any user discussion forums that cover the same
      topics discussed here? I'd really love to be a part of
      community where I can get feedback from other experienced
      people that share the same interest. If you have any recommendations, please let me know.

      Thank you!

      We eat home fries all the time, and always experiment with different seasonings and oils. This is a great option. I would also use them in baked chicken or pork tenderloins #IdOldBayThat #Sweepstakes

      These are the best potatoes I’ve ever made in my life! I absolutely LOVE Old Bay seasoning so I’ve wanted to try these since I received the recipe in an email a while ago. They were a huge hit and I couldn’t stop eating them. I ended up cutting the oil down to 1/8 cup because me and my mom are dieting and they still worked like a charm. I also used white potatoes because it’s what I had.We will DEFINITELY be making these again and again! Thanks for sharing!!!!
