To roast small potatoes, the typical time is around 25 to 30 minutes at 425°F (about 220°C) when potatoes are cut into halves or quarters depending on their size.

Key roasting instructions:

  • Cut small potatoes into uniform pieces for even cooking (halves or quarters).
  • Toss with olive oil, salt, pepper, and optionally garlic powder or herbs.
  • Spread on a baking sheet in a single layer to avoid steaming.
  • Roast in a preheated oven at 425°F.
  • Around 25 to 30 minutes is usually enough for the potatoes to be tender and golden brown.
  • Turning or tossing them halfway through cooking can help ensure even browning and crispiness.

If roasting whole baby potatoes, roasting time might be slightly longer, around 30 to 40 minutes until fork tender. Overall, roasting small cut potatoes takes about 25 to 30 minutes at 425°F for a crisp outside and tender inside.
