How to Get Roasted Potatoes Brown in the Oven
You’ll notice my instructions for roasting potatoes include having you oil and season the pan itself. Yes, it’s not enough to just toss everything onto the pan. The oil needs to make contact with the pan to avoid sticking and ensure everything browns. Make sure your potatoes fit into one single layer on the pan. When food is too close together it creates steam and it will not brown. Stop crowding the pan. Finally, these things take time. Yes, these potatoes need to roast for 40-45 minutes total. I know that seems like a while, but that’s how you develop color and flavor.
Make sure to season evenly, cut everything uniform in size, and do not over crowd the pan.

Easy Seasoned All Purpose Roasted Potatoes
Ingredients
- 4 medium Yukon Gold Potatoes Diced
- 1 large Red Bell Pepper Diced
- 1 medium Onion Diced
- 1/2 tbsp. Salt
- 2 tsp. Pepper
- 1 tsp. Garlic Powder
- 1 tsp. Paprika
- 1 tsp. Onion Powder
- 4 tbsp. Avocado Oil Or other high heat oil
Instructions
- Preheat Oven to 425 degrees.
- Take a large sheet pan and drizzle half the oil onto the pan. You will also sprinkle half of all the seasonings. This helps you to evenly coat all of the potatoes as they get tossed around in cooking. It also ensures they don't stick to the pan.
- Put your potatoes, onions and peppers onto the sheet pan and add the other half of the oil and seasonings. NOTE: The peppers and onions will get very soft. If you like a crispier texture, then add them about 15 minutes into the cooking time.
- Bake at 425 for 25 minutes. Flip them over and allow them cook another 20 minutes. Watch them, because if your oven runs hot, things could get done sooner.
