These Chili Roasted Potatoes are always at the top of my kid’s request list when they come home for a visit.
Some of our family’s other favorite potatoes recipes include these Smashed Potatoes, Cheesy Ranch Potatoes and Easy Mashed Potatoes.
I think I have mentioned before that I am not a potato fan. It’s not because I’m trying to cut down on carbs because I am a big fan of carbs. I think it’s more of a texture issue for me than anything else.
Yes, I am married to man from Idaho, a man whose first solid food was probably potatoes! The first time I went to Idaho to meet Jim’s family I think they were all a little shocked and dismayed. Their son was dating a girl who did not eat potatoes! How could their son possibly fallen in love with a girl who didn’t eat potatoes!
As I have gotten older I have found a few ways I will eat potatoes and one of them is as a very crisp french fry! No soggy fries for me!!!
The other way is today’s recipe for Chili Roasted Red Potatoes or as they are affectionately known at our house, Patrice’s Potatoes. Patrice is one of my friends and an amazing cook. She is one of those cooks that doesn’t need a recipe – she just cooks!
How to Make Chili Roasted Potatoes
- Red Potatoes. Slice them fairly thin, thus, creating a crisper finished product!
- Spice. You can easily adjust the “heat” to your liking by adding more or less cayenne pepper and chili powder.
- Coat the potatoes in a mixture of olive, oil, butter and seasonings.
- Place them on a baking sheet in a single layer and bake at 500 degrees F for 20 minutes. Turn the potatoes half way through.
You can cook them until your desired doneness or crispness. Guess who eats the extra crispy, almost burnt ones!?
Every time my kids come home for a visit and I ask them what they want for dinner, these chili roasted potatoes always make the cut! They love them!! We love serving them with this Fast Fire Flank Steak.

I will have to try this. These spices are similar to what we shake on Tater Tots to make potato ole’s So I bet they’re good. Also I’m Irish American, you may not have made it into the family at all if you’ld have told me you don’t eat potatoes 🙂 Thank you for the recipe

Kathryn, I do eat these potatoes!!
Cheri says
So….how much is a “cube” of butter?
Leigh Anne says
Cheri, A cube is a 1/2 a cup – I updated the recipe to reflect that.

This works for any potatoes including frozen and canned if that is all you have. You can also add beets, turnips, carrots, etc. I use russets and cut them in wedges. I toss then in olive oil with seasonings that I mix up from time to time (garlic, onion powder, fresh herbs, cayenne etc) and add them to an already heated pan.
If we are having a roast I put them in the roasting pan under the rack about 1/2 hour before the roast is done. If we are having broiled meat I put them in the pan under the broiling rack. The meat dripping make them even better and I often just use a bit of salt and pepper if I am cooking them under the meat.
Or I make them as a side dish as above.
Nova says
Pretty fantastic! One little adjustment I do – rub the pan with oil and get it just this side of smoking hot, *then* add the potatoes (or any root vegetable to be roasted) The side that hits the pan gets a gorgeous crispy crust.
