Y’all, these potatoes are by far My Family’s Favorite Potatoes! Everyone in my family loves them. I make them at least twice a week, at least.
And even then, whenever I tell the kids I’m making “those potatoes” they get just as excited as if it had just been declared a major holiday in my house. On the days I don’t tell then in advance, their noses lead them to the kitchen. “Do I smell those potatoes?”. There have actually been evenings when additional people showed up after an excited phone call from my daughter letting them know what was in the oven.
The great thing is, My Family’s Favorite Potatoes are easy as can be to make, which is partly why I enjoy making them. The secret is in the type of potato and the seasoning.

Now, let’s make My Family’s Favorite Potatoes.
To make this recipe, you’ll need:
Yukon Gold Potatoes, Olive Oil, and Seasoned Salt.
Why Yukon Potatoes?
Now you can do this recipe with any type of potato but Yukon gold is the best because they have a natural buttery taste to them and a nice soft yellow flesh that holds up well to roasting.
I like Morton’s because many of my grandparents worked for the company that owned that. 🙂 They worked for Morton Thiokol in Huntsville, Alabama way back in the day. I have a lot of memories of Thiokol growing up. They used to have these wonderful family picnics for their employees that were pretty much festivals, and the employees could bring their kids, grandkids, etc. We always went and had the best time!
Begin by cutting all of your potatoes into cubes. Place them on a baking sheet or a baking sheet lined with parchment for easier cleanup. You can also line it with foil if you like.
Drizzle olive oil generously over potatoes and use your hands to toss them until well coated. Sprinkle liberally with Seasoned Salt. 
Bake at 400 for about thirty minutes, stirring halfway through and sprinkling with seasoned salt again.
When they are done they will have lightly browned edges and be nice and soft to the bite.
And taste delicious.

Thanks !
These potatoes look so good. They will be on the menu for tonight. Love roasted veggies. So easy.
These would be so good, baked while you are cooking a roast or chicken.
Can’t wait to try these in the air fryer
This looks and sounds delicious! I have done something similar. I put olive oil into a ziplock bag, add spices like salt, pepper, onion, garlic, and dill. Then place the potatoes in the ziplock and shake well to evenly coat the potatoes. Then put in your pan and bake. (I like the idea of Season All and will have to try it for even more simplicity)!
My family (hubby not so much) LOVES roasted potatoes.
I make them like this except I also sprinkle with McCormick’s GrillMates Roasted Garlic & Herb seasoning.
