What Makes Good Roasted Potatoes?
1. The kind of potatoes used. Use potatoes with a high starch content like russet potatoes. That way you get roasted potatoes that are perfectly creamy in the middle while remaining crispy on the outside.
2. Salt. Potatoes can taste bland if not properly salted. Salt really helps bring out the flavors.
3. Herbs and Spices. Herbs like parsley or rosemary go well with potatoes. Spices like garlic and ginger transform bland potatoes into something incredibly tasty.
For this Easy Roasted Potatoes recipe you could either use a little green seasoning or use a few shakes of dried herbs and spices.
You guys already know I am an advocate for keeping a decent stash of dried herbs and spices. They make life in the kitchen so much easier!

The green seasoning I use on these potatoes is a homemade seasoning made with ginger, garlic, parsley and other herbs/spices. It is a versatile seasoning that greatly improved the taste of meals and works well as a marinade for meat or fish. I recommend to make some and keep a jar in the fridge for adding to food. Here is the green seasoning recipe.
And you could definitely substitute green seasoning with dried spices and herbs as suggested in the recipe.
