Slight twist to an old favorite. Chili powder gives the potatoes and onions in this recipe some zing! I make these for breakfast every Sunday, and my family loves them!
We had these for dinner with pork chops, YUMMY! I added a whole extra onion, next time I may even add another one because they were soooo good! And I thought it was easier to just mix everything together in a bowl and then pour it onto a baking sheet. Great recipe! Will definitely make again!

Oh my goodness, these are good! I have made these twice in the last 2 weeks and my whole family loves them. I bought a very large wholesale club bag of "fingerling" potatoes and wasn't quite sure what to do with them. This recipe is perfect. I quarter the potatoes lengthwise, put everything in a large bowl, toss it all together (except the cheese)and bake it in a greased 13 X 9 pan. Be sure to use the "kosher salt" as called for - it is very coarsely ground and has about 1/2 the sodium per tablespoon as regular salt. Or, if you do not have kosher salt on hand and are using regular salt, cut the salt to 1/2 a tablespoon. The cheddar cheese sprinkled on top at the end, makes these really delicious. Thanks for the great recipe!
I give this 5 stars because we've made this 2 times within the last 3 nights. Went over very well with the boyfriend. The chili powder is a great touch! I broiled them for a bit at the end to get a good top crunch going on. Thanks for sharing this.
These turned out very well, I used taco seasoning as some suggested and nuked the potatos for 8 minutes before roasting...I'll definitely make these again.
These were very tasty and easy to make. I make something like this on the stove-top but this was much easier! (No standing at the stove!) I loved the onions, I would cut them in bigger chunks next time. I threw in about 6 whole cloves of garlic, crushed under the side of my knife (in addition to the garlic powder). Those were delicious too! I only used 4 pretty small Yukon golds, so I only used 2 TBS of oil and this was too much- would only add 1 TBS next time. I reduced the salt quite a bit- just sprinkled some on. The cheese (I used sharp cheddar) is a nice touch, but it would be good without it too. I was making roast beef at the same time, so I baked these at 350 for over an hour. I think I will keep this method and try different spice/herb combos. Thanks for the recipe!
Very good and easy! I added chunks of boneless chicken and quartered onions to make it a one meal dish. Served with salad. Guests loved.
I had preboiled red potatoes on hand from another project. I spread them out on the sheet tray and pushed them down with my palms to give them the "burst" look. Lovely crisp and flavor...EASY!
Made this for a Mothers Day brunch side dish. Everyone liked it, except for hubby who dislikes onion. I only used 1/2 the onion too. I used a spoonful of jarred minced garlic instead of garlic powder, and Tony Chacheres seasoned salt instead of kosher salt. I thought it was just a little greasy from the oil but it soaked up a lot once I pulled it from the oven. I really liked the flavor of this dish. I will probably make this again.
We had these along with Richard's Breakfast Scramble (a fave of mine from this site) for brunch today. I didn't have kosher salt so I subbed about 1 1/2 tsp table salt. Next time I'll probablt pop the potatoes back in the oven for about 5 minutes to melt the cheese because it didn't melt all that great on it's own. Thanks for the great recipe Yapodaca.
Skipped the shredded cheese on top and didn't miss it, these are easy and good. Hubby and kids both gave it a gold star!
Mmmmmmm! Yummy! I was a little pressed for time & also had something in the oven that was cooking at a 100 degree difference lower, so I semi pre-cooked my potatoes in the microwave. (If you cut them 1st, you don't have to deal with cutting hot potatoes!) I premix all the spices together in a ramekin. I also added about 1/4 teaspoon of Sweet Paprika for added flavor & color. It seemed like a lot of rub/spice to me, so I didn't use about 1 Tablespoon of it the 1st time around, but when I tasted it, I deduced that it would've been fine to add it. My boyfriend actually wanted it to be spicier, so the next time around, I added 1/8 tsp Smoked Paprika, 1/8 tsp Cayenne Pepper & also added a diced up Louisiana Hot Link Sausage. It made a perfect breakfast dish in it's own right all by itself. I served it with some chilled papaya slices to cool the tongue & diffuse some of the heat from the Hot Links & Cayenne. I have to also say that I love this site! I especially love being able to change the number of servings & have the ingredients re-calculated for me for the needed servings. Saves me a lot of work & time! Very Cool! :og
I give these 5 stars because they are great! I make them slightly different; I use three tbsp. of onion soup mix and olive oil. I put the potatoes in a plastic resealable bag and toss them in the olive oil and onion soup mix. I have used other spice/herb combinations but the onion soup mix is by far our families favorite! Great recipe!
Tried these with 7 yukon gold potatoes. the texture was great. Roasted them on a cookie sheet and didn't use cheese. Added about 1/4 t cayenne and 1/2 t paprika.I followed others advice and used only 1 T of salt. Hawaiian sea salt to specify and I found that much too salty. My husband didn't mind the saltiness but I found relief only by using ketchup. Loved the chili powder taste. Will definitely make again only using a 1/2 T salt.Very easy to prepare....not sure why some of the posted photos have colorless potatoes, mine were a rich brown/red shade. looked great too!
Great recipe, Yolanda! Thanks! I only have a couple of "tweeks" to add. #1)I use chunky-cut Vidalia onions (& twice the amount called for: Less burning & better flavor/texture because they have more water in them, IMO). #2) I toss ALL ingredients, but the cheese, in a large zip-top freezer bag, shake, pour into a 9"x 12" bake dish. (I keep the bag for any leftovers.) I also sprinkle some course-ground black pepper over all before baking; cheese goes on as per recipe. Any shredded cheese works...try jalapeno/Jack. A fun recipe to work with. Nice job & good reviews, too!
Very easy & tasty way to fix potatoes! I lined the pan with foil and used a touch of olive oil spray to prevent sticking. I used only 1/2 Tbsp. of kosher salt, otherwise followed exactly and we thought they were great....loved the spicyness! First time I made these I topped with the cheese, next time I skipped cheese just to save some fat/calories. Delicious either way!
They were easy and pretty good. The only change I made was to use a fresh garlic clove.
I've made this several times with various types of cheeseand so far everyone really likes them!
Yum , really enjoyed but did find the onions burnt before potatoes were cooked. Next time will either cut potatoes smaller or add onions later. Still enjoyed them
I have made a similar recipe. The difference is we used Chili flakes along with the Chili Powder. Very good.
Potatoes cooked really nice but the flavor wasn't all that memorable. Wasn't bad, but just needs more something.
These are really really good. I made as written, but used a bit less garlic powder and used some fresh garlic. I used Kosher sea salt, and they were a bit saltier than I would like (I like salt too!) I would just use either more potatoes (who does not like leftovers??), or a bit less oil and salt. I did use 1 extra potato than called for. My family GOBBLED them up! Great with the cheese, and without. They liked the cheese on these better than without. I might add more onion too. My kids do not eat skin on potatoes, or care for oniions, and they did not think twice about eating these with the skin, and I do not think they even noticed the onion. YUMMMMMMMY will be making again with the changes. Thank you for a great recioe. I bet these would be good with just about any seasoning you want to add. We loved the Chili powder kick!
I have made these potatoes for years. I use fresh garlic and 2 to 3 cloves. I also add parsley. These are great to make when you are out camping, they wake everyone up with the great smell. Another way I like to fix them is with polish sausage cut up (either regular or hot) and then scramble eggs. Everyone Love these.
Awesome! The only thing I did differently was doubled the chili powder as my hubby likes it HOT! I didn't get a chance to add the cheese as he was ready to eat. It still came out so tasty! This is definitely a keeper and will be added to the bi-weekly menu schedule. Thanks so much for sharing!
Was looking for something different and decided to try this. Glad I did, it was excellent and my daughter, who is 9 actually prepped this recipe for me and there were no leftovers! I used Idaho potatoes.
Excellent with the Italian Breaded Porkchops from this site! I cut the salt in half and used a teaspoon of garlic powder with two crushed cloves. Mixed the spices together first, then shook everything together in a big Ziplock bag because that's easier than mixing in the pan. I broiled it for a few minutes at the end to crisp everything up...yum!
Made these for lunch today. They looked so delicious after cooking. I followed recipe exact except for cutting down the garlic powder a smidgeon My husband and I both loved them. Put cheese on half and left it off the other half. We both agreed we could take the cheese or leave it. It is a very tasty attractive dish and a keeper for my family. Will definitely make again.
Easy Spicy Roasted Potatoes Haiku: "OMG Salty. We could barely finish these, without broccoli." I had some naked, steamed broccoli on the side of these potatoes which thank goodness, included in a forkful, cut down some of the crazy saltiness of the potatoes. I followed the recipe, halving the seasoning for 4 medium red potatoes, and followed the directions to a T. With several other roasted potato recipes on AR, I can't imagine making this one again.
I had to admit that it was pretty good,added spicy Taco seasoning + corriander powder+red pepper powder with potatoes and onions , all tossed together with oil and baked them.also made Tufo and vegetables in peanut sauce with it ...love it ..
OMG....I followed the recipe almost to the tee; added jsut abit more chili powder as we like things spicy. I took EMMA37's advice and added boneless skinless chicken (about 1lb) cut in chunks to the mix for a "One Pot Wonder" as my husband calls them and it was amazing; served with a vegie on the side!Thank you Yolanda!!!
Good potatoes, definitely easy to put together. I would recommend cutting back on the oil and salt; I found them to be a bit too salty. Also, it would be better to add the onions halfway through the cooking process, b/c (as others have mentioned) my onions got burned before the potatoes were done. Really enjoyed the flavors, just needs a few adjustments. thanks for the recipe :)
I made this twice this week (it's that good!). The first time, I followed the directions perfectly (with the cheese) except that I used regular baking potatoes. It was fabulous! The second time, I cut the oil to 2 tablespoons and increased the chili powder to 1 tablespoon. It was even better this way. I couldn't have asked for a better breakfast potatoes recipe! Thanks!
Delicious! I added a little apple cider vinegar to the olive oil, and used Tony Chachere's in place of chili powder. I also scattered some red pepper flakes on there for good measure. This recipe was just the thing to go with our meal. It could have even been our whole meal!
These are pretty good, except for one problem - they are WAY TOO SALTY! I would definitely only use about a teaspoon of salt, and I would also decrease the oil to only a couple of tablespoons because they were very greasy. Otherwise, it's a good recipe and with less salt I would probably give it 4 STARS.
Yum! I followed the advice of one reviewer and used taco seasoning. They tasted a little like JoJos - but better. 40 minutes was just right. My kids and I went wild for this - husband doesn't like potatoes so he doesn't count! This goes in the rotation.
Made it for brunch - it was a big hit! I used cayenne pepper and it gave the potato the perfect touch. Definitely a keeper.
Great! Left the skins on. Skipped the onion and cheese. Used one tsp of salt and extra chili pdr. What put this over the top was instead of the garlic pdr I used whole cloves of garlic. They roasted up to deliciousness! They gave the potates a great flavor and the garlic melts in your mouth.
This was so good and even better re-heated the next day. I put all the ingredients (except the cheese) in a big Ziploc bag and tossed them up together then poured into my pan. I also only sprinkled a small amount of cheese on top when done instead of a whole cup. I will definitely make this again and again!
First time roasting potatoes, and these were incredible! Didn't add the cheese, but I don't think they need it.
Made these yesterday, they were fantatstic! Only thing I would do differently is use a little less kosher salt.
So easy, so fast. and I didn't fine it too spicy. Thought it was just right. I only had yukon gold potatoes and it was fine. I put the oil in gallon size baggie, then potatoes, onions and all the spices. Zipped it up and proceeded to mix all the ingrediients. Everything was blended wonderfully and just poured out into greased 9/13 glass pan. I did forget to add the cheese but the dish was excellent as it. Thanks...
very easy and yummy. Followed directions exactly. No complaints. Just wonderful goodness!!
Very good! The chili powder gives it a kick. I mixed all ingredients except cheese in a plastic zip lock bag to mix throughly before putting them in a pan. My husband loved them,and I'll be making them again,I'm sure.Thanks!
I loved these! They were a little too salty though (and I love salt) so I will probably cut back or even omit the salt the next time I made this. I made this with fingerling potatoes and cut the pieces about 1" diameter. I will also add another onion the next time I make this...it was probably the best part!
awesome potatoes. I substituted a package of onion soup mix for the onions. It turned out with crunchy bits of onions. Even my daughter who does not like onions loved it.
Really great, easy way to spice up your potatoes! WAY too much salt suggested, I would use only about 2tsp. I added fresh garlic and 3T butter rather than olive oil. Family LOVED it!
I really liked these! I added a little less salt and garlic powder - maybe 3/4 tablespoon - and they came out perfect. I didn't add cheese, but it honestly doesn't need it. Yum!
These have a really great flavor and are terribly easy. I didn't use cheese. The last few minutes of cooking time I broiled for a little crispness. A great side!
Now these potatoes were great. I used different spices and added a bit more olive oil and they came out perfect. Just make sure you keep them covered so the steam will keep the potatoes moist and they won't get hard. Once air gets to them, they are hard to chew. They were a welcomed change from mashed or baked potatoes. Superb!
These are amazing! I did not change the recipe, but will defintaley double it next time!
The only thing was I used yellow potatoes instead of red, and I'll choose to use a little less oil next time. Otherwise, delicious!
I make these potatoes with almost everything! They are awesome! Only thing is that I do not add the onion from the beggining, but maybe when there is only 10 minutes left otherwise they get too dried up.
These were really good! I used sea salt in place of kosher and 1T was a tad much. If making a similar sub, start w/about 1/2T and adjust per taste from there. I also misread the chili powder amount in my overtired state and used 1T. I was worried I'd ruined dinner, but it actually wasn't too spicy (though, I'll probably revert to 2tsp next time). THANKS for the recipe!
These were so yummy, I can not believe how good these actually were! So good that I forgot the cheese I was eating them right out of the pan. The only things I did differently were I did not add salt, I used 2 garlic cloves smashed and then some jared minced gatlic and I cooked them in my cast iron skillet, so yummy!!! Thank you
Tasty and easy! I used several cloves of fresh garlic instead of the powder and also used a mixture of chipotle chili powder with regular for more of a kick! I didn't use anywhere close to the 1/4 cup of oil, maybe 1-2 TBSP at most. I cooked them at 400 as I had pork in at the same time and left the cheese off, which was optional anyway, these were perfect without!
I didn't find these potatoes to be anything special. I added my onions for the last 20 minutes of baking time so they would have a little crunch.
Yummy! The onions in this become so good, and the potatoes have such a delicious taste!
I LOVE this Recipe!! It is so good and my family loves it! We eat every bit of it. Some think it a little salty so you might want to leave abit of salt out because the cheese has salt in it too. This is a real keeper and super easy!
Extremely easy and delicious. I brought these to a brunch and several people asked for the recipe.
These were good and very easy to make, but I almost think that the olive oil could have been cut down. They seemed a little on the greasy side. I also didn't think that they were very spicy. Next time I think that I will make with the optional shredded cheese and some jalapeno slices.
Great, but I don't see the point of the onions. 90% of mine were burnt at the end.
The first bite was excellent. After that it tasted too salty (and yes, I did use kosher salt). I will probably cut the salt down to a teaspoon or two in the future. But I will use this recipe again! It is far better than the store-bought powder mix. I completely forgot about adding cheddar, but the spuds do not need it. I eyeballed the olive oil. If using all five potatoes (I use red), double the seasoning. I just dump oil and spices in a gallon bag, mix them up, then dump in the potatoes and onion to coat them. Many times later: I just tried dumping all ingredients in a glass casserole dish and stirring. It does not work nearly as well as putting everything in a bag. The potatoes are not evenly spicy, and there is too much oil, so they never crisped. Still decent, but stick with the bag in the future. 12.24.13 - Made it with 4 red potatoes (cut TINY), almost Tbs garlic powder, no onions, almost Tbs chili, tsp salt, enough olive oil for a sludge (for garbage plates). Perfect (for plates). 02.02.14 - Doubled the 12.24.13 version for Garbage Plates for a party.
i made this resipie tonight with my homade cowboy chow it was good, i added more garlic. and used canola oil Insteasd of olive oil. i also used cagin spice. it was really good
These are excellent! I added a bit of tex mex spice, some oregano and used a little less salt and oil. Cook them for an extra 10 minutes if you prefer them crispier. Delicious!
Really good! I threw in a couple of gently crushed garlic cloves and used yukon fingerling potatos, sliced.
This recipe is so good, so simple and yet I never thought of it. I can't imagine someone not liking it. I didn't change much at all but like another reviewer said it's easier to put together in a bowl and I used taco seasoning because those people have really done their homework and have gotten that spice down pat. It's great!
Very good way to fix potatoes, and so much flavor! We liked the crunchyness too.
The potatoes tasted lovely .. I used regular salt becoz i didnt have Kosher salt. Used few garlic cloves as i didnt have garlic powder. Also added red chilli Flakes & oregano seasoning for the extra flavour.Will cut down the oil to 2 tbs.
I skipped the cheese (don't need the added calories!) and they were great. I will be making these often.
This is like a spiced up versio of the BH&G easy roasted potatoes...except much better!! So much more flavor!
My husband and I love this recipe! The first time we tried it I used the salt and we found it too salty. When I made it tonight I left all the salt out and we really liked it! I encourage everyone to try making it without salt--if you don't like it you can add salt to the portion on your plate, but I think its worth trying!
These were easy and yummy! I had a bunch of red potatoes that I needed to use up, and this recipe was awesome. Made a great side. Will do again.
Great! I actually boiled these for 10 min. then drained them and mixed them with the seasonings. That way I only had to bake them for 10 min. with a couple minutes of being broiled at the end. I left my onions pretty chunky and served these with 'Actually Delicious Turkey Burgers'. We could eat this meal again tonight!
I didn't have any chili powder so I used cajun seasoning instead. Added some extra onions and a dab of butter. They were fantatic! Thank you :)
I made these in wedges and increased the onions. I served it with spicy ketcup and everyone loved it. I will be making these many times for my family for a looooong time. And the fun thing is you can kick it up in all kinds of ways. Great recipe!!!
These were good but i prefer just using a package of lipton onion soup mix and olive oil. It's really easy and my kids love them.
Excellent! Have made these several times at the request of my hubby. I have yet to use the cheese on top. We think they are perfect without it, so why add more calories? I always use Yukons because that's what I always have on hand. I put all of the seasonings in the oil, mix it, then put potatoes, onions and seasoned oil in a large covered bowl and shake them around to completely coat. Dump them on a foil lined cookie sheet, put them in the oven and 30 minutes later, YUM! Thanks Yolanda!
I substituted spicy Hungarian paprika for the chile powder and these were delicious!
These were very good. I didn't have kosher salt, so I just added a pinch of regular salt. I'm not a big salt person. I was cooking for picky people so I cut back on the onion and spices. It was still good, though next time I will use the full amount for more flavor. It's good with or without the cheese.
This was OK, but not amazing. It seemed like there was way too much salt, even after I reduced it to half a tablespoon. I left off the cheese to reduce the calories too. I think the "Roasted Cajun Potatoes" from this site are 100 times better if you're looking for a roasted potato recipe.
Everyone loved these potatoes however I made 10servings and the cook time was closer to 55minutes. Next time I think I may steam the potatoes in the microwave for 6-7 minutes before putting in to the oven and that should put the oven time to no more than 20 minutes or so. Everyone loved them!
YUMMO. I added way more chili powder than was called for and used regular salt instead of kosher but it was super good. My husband is a big potato fan so he loved it. I served it for brunch and it was the first dish that got cleaned out.
Easy and tasty. I did not have red potatoes so I just used Idaho with the skin. I also forgot the salt! The flavor was still strong and plentiful. I may add some paprika next time.
