Looking for a quick and easy any-time side dish? These 35-minute Roasted Honey Gold Potatoes are crispy on the outside, fluffy on the inside, and perfectly seasoned.

You’re only some honey gold potatoes, olive oil, and a handful of fresh rosemary and thyme away from all that deliciousness.

As a mom-on-the-go who loves great food, I love a simple side dish that can not only complete but elevate any meal! This honey gold potato recipe is my go-to because it’s quick, easy, flavorful, and foolproof.

Honey gold potatoes are easily my favorite roasting potato (see also: Roasted Baby Potatoes and Broccoli!), but they are also great to make on the stove, like in this recipe for Pan-Fried Potatoes and Onions.

Roasted Honey Gold Potatoes Ingredient Highlights

Honey Gold potatoes roast beautifully and relatively quickly, making them perfect for a quick and easy side dish. They are buttery and light with a very subtly sweet flavor, and a fluffy interior texture with very thin and delicate skin.

Plus, they do not require peeling before roasting, making them so easy to prepare! The skin gets nice and crispy, and never rubbery like some other potato varieties’ skin can get.

I highly recommend using fresh herbs, but dried rosemary and thyme will work in a pinch.

Roasted Honey Gold Potatoes Tips and Tricks

I Like to Prep My Ingredients First

For the herbs, it’s as simple as removing your rosemary and thyme from the stems and dicing it.

As for the potatoes, rinse and dry them and chop them into 4 equal parts. I find it easier to chop them in half longways first, then half each of those pieces.

They certainly do not have to be perfectly uniform, but the more equal in size you can get them, the more evenly they will roast.

Season Your Potatoes

Once you’ve chopped your potatoes, spread them out on a baking sheet in a single layer. Drizzle the olive oil on top.

It’s important that there is enough oil to completely coat the potatoes. Note that some oil will be left behind on your baking tray when you transfer your potatoes to a serving plate.

Next, add the salt, pepper, chopped rosemary, and thyme. Sprinkle them right on top of the potatoes.

How I Ensure the Potatoes are Evenly Coated

Use clean hands to toss the potatoes in the oil and seasonings, really making sure that each potato wedge is coated evenly.

If you don’t like getting your hands dirty, you can use a large serving spoon to toss, but I find using your hands gives you more control.

Once you are confident that the potatoes are coated evenly, spread them back out across the sheet, making sure they are in a single layer and not overlapping one another.

How I Perfectly Roast Potatoes

The last and final step! Roast these bad boys on the top rack of your oven for 30-35 minutes at 425°F, tossing halfway between. You’ll know they are ready when they start to get that beautiful golden-brown color on the exterior.

You have the option to use aluminum foil to line your baking sheet for less clean-up, but it’s not necessary! There is enough oil in the recipe to avoid needing any kind of nonstick surface.

Storing and Reheating Roasted Potatoes

These Roasted Honey Gold Potatoes will stay fresh in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. You can also opt to freeze them for up to a year!

The best way to reheat them is in the oven at 400°F for 10-15 minutes until they are crispy again. If you are reheating them from frozen, it’s best to let them thaw in the fridge overnight first.
