We Love our oven roasted potatoes, and this recipe is really easy and actually healthy. It’s just the basic, budget-friendly potato, and here are two possible oven-roasting options that are either with or without oil.
Everybody in our household loves them, so they go fast. I’ve even prepared larger batches to also enjoy them with breakfast the next day too.

A Little More about These Oven Roasted Potatoes
Since coconut oil has a medium smoke threshold, be sure to keep your temperature below 374°. When making these on the stove, I like using my cast iron skillet for a nice, slightly browned potato.
Potatoes are a nightshade, however, like tomatoes and peppers, so watch out if you have problems with this food group.
