Hey hey heeeeey, friends! And the countdown to Christmahanukwanzika continues! Can’t you just feel all the holiday vibes in the air?
#ItsBeginingToLookALotLikeChristmas
So tell me, do you guys have your big meal all planned out? Since we are SO close, I’m hoping you guys have a pretty good idea of what you are making.
BUT, just in case you don’t, have no fear. I have a few quick and easy dishes to share with you guys over the next few weeks, because I have ALWAYS got your back!
I mean, that IS what friends are for.
Speaking of holiday dinners, I happen to have ZERO clue what Boy and I are doing for Christmas Eve and Christmas. I was planning on making a reservation for a nice dinner out. However, if you follow this blog, you know I had that SAME EXACT plan for Thanksgiving, and at the last minute Boy decided he wanted to stay home.
His impromptu decision left me scrambling at the 25th hour, and I’m definitely NOT in a hurry to have a repeat performance of that nonsense.
So, I’m in a pickle.
I’m thinking I might make a reservation and ALSO put together a holiday menu just in case. Better to be safe than sorry, right?
Anyways, regardless of if we are going out or staying in, one thing remains constant – Potatoes MUST be a part of my holiday meal. But, the TYPE of ‘taters I make will always depend on my mood.
If I want creamy potatoes I make this rustic mashed potatoes.
If I want decadent, cheesy taters I make this au Gratin.
If I want fancy spuds I make this potato galette.
And if I want fuss-free, crispy deliciousness I make this…
Asiago, Garlic & Herb Roasted Red Potatoes
Also known as, THE potatoes Boy has been devouring on the regular.
Seriously, y’all, he has been eating these for breakfast, lunch, dinner and repeat. Not that I blame him.
Golden brown n’ crispy on the outside, and creamy n’ tender on the inside, these taters are too legit to quit.
But, this potato party isn’t JUST about texture, it is also about flavor, and these spuds have got it goin’ on there too. Loaded with earthy rosemary and thyme; sweet, mellow roasted garlic, and cheesy asiago, these spuds are straight up tater-tastic.
On top of all that fantastic flavor, these roasted potatoes are also a breeze to make! Simply preheat the oven, toss the potatoes with the herbs, garlic, cheese, and oil, and then roast.
Wham-Bam-Thank-You-Ma’am – roasted potato perfection.
What herb for roasted potatoes?
While this herb roasted potato recipe uses fresh rosemary and thyme paired with garlic and asiago cheese to season the potatoes, please feel free to play around with herbs, seasonings and cheeses to customize these crispy potatoes to your liking!
Roasted potatoes pair well with most fresh herbs. Fresh oregano, sage and parsley are all great options, so mix and match until you come up with a combination that rocks your world!
How to make potatoes crispy in the oven?
There are a few tips and tricks to ensure your potatoes are crispy on the inside and meltingly tender on the inside. The first three tips are imperative and the last tips is optional, but recommended if you have the time!
- Make sure you preheat your oven with the pan in the oven! Starting the roasting process with a hot pan gives the potatoes a head start to become crispy! (Imperative tip!)
- Do NOT overcrowd the pan! If you overcrowd the pan and have overlapping potatoes, the potatoes will steam versus roast. (Imperative tip!)
- Start with DRY potatoes. After washing your potatoes make sure they are completely dry. Wet potatoes will cause the potatoes to steam, much like overcrowding the pan! (Imperative tip!)
- Soak the halved potatoes in cold water. Soaking the potatoes before roasting will remove some of the starch and aid in them becoming crispy. If you soak your potatoes, make sure you pay attention to the tip above and dry your potatoes thoroughly!!
How to make the best Asiago, Garlic & Herb Roasted Red Potatoes (Notes, Tips & Tricks):
- I used red skinned potatoes in this recipe, but you can substitute Yukon Gold or Fingerling potatoes. If your potatoes are on the larger side, I recommend quartering them. If they are on the small side, you can just halve them. If you have a mix of both, halve the small ones and quarter the large ones… you want them all roughly the same size.
- The recipe calls for 6-8 cloves of garlic. I used all 8 because I like a LOT of garlic. If your cloves are small, I would use all 8. If your cloves are large and you don’t love garlic, I’d scale back and use 6.
- You want to use freshly grated asiago cheese here! Now is not the time for that packaged pre-shredded stuff. Go get a nice block of asiago from the cheese section of your market. Make sure you grate the cheese using the smallest holes on your box grater.
- You will need to flip the potatoes twice while roasting to ensure the potatoes are golden brown and crispy all over. I flipped mine at the 16 and 34 minute mark and roasted them for a total of 50 minutes, but the total time will depend on how hot or cold your oven runs.
Easy to make and even easier to devour, these Asiago, Garlic & Herb Roasted Red Potatoes are an excellent addition to any holiday table AND simple weeknight meals!
Until next week friends, cheers – to a holy jolly weekend!
XOXO

I get in fits of having baby roasted tatos and every time I have them after not having them for a while I wonder why I waiting so long! I love lots and lots of garlic too – never too much if you ask me. And cheese. lots o cheese. These are perfect for any meal, but I bet they would be lovely on the Christmas dinner table. Awesome job on the video, as usual, girl! Cheers girlie!
I love roasted potatoes, Cheyanne! So good, so simple – just the best!
Crispy deliciousness for me please!!! I am a roasted potato ADDICT. These look fab – pinning!! My next big feast is looking better and better 😉
I looove roasted potatoes! And I also really love your site redesign! It’s very slick.
I’m so happy you’re reposting these potatoes, Cheyanne! I looooooove roasted potatoes… along with asiago, garlic, and yummy herbs. Who wouldn’t love that combo?! The holidays are fast approaching, so these are a must on one (or all!) of my menus! Have a great week 🙂
I remember these beautiful potatoes, Chey! And I can fully rely on you now – even if I skipped recipe when it was first published (Or even if I tried to forget about it haha. Haven’t happened to me yet), I can be sure I’ll see them again, sooner or later. Well the most important thing is not to miss it the second time 🙂
I always have holiday menus planned months in advance, but then I keep adding things over time and eventually I know I have to cut or invite like 1000 people. . .and these potatoes just went on my Thanksgiving list. Hmmmm. Maybe I’ll have to cut one of my six pies. Chey, these sound DELICIOUS! Have a great week, my dear!
I remember these from the first time around Chey! Such a quick and delicious side for the holidays! You know I LOVE the video too! Well done! You’re a pro!
I know I stopped by last year but I have to pipe in…only because I love that video! The first shot with the cheese showering down on those golden spuds! oh my! Makes me wish (again) that we were neighbors!! Have a great week, my dear! xoxo
Love these potatoes! They are perfect with just about any main dish. Love all the updates. 🙂
These potatoes look so tasty! love red potatoes as well as we located they produce unbelievably delicious baked potatoes.
We are cooking for friends on Christmas Eve and going out on Christmas day…kind of win, win for me.
Your potatoes will be perfect whether served on the holiday or anyway.
I don’t blame boy for eating this allday – everyday – I mean – look at ’em chary and cheesy taters! Ooh – potatoes are comfort food at it’s finest – for me!\ – and am so loving this version! Cheyanne, I gotta say, I don’t think I’ve ever had potatoes with Asiago – ever! Thanks so much for the inspiration, friend! If y’all wanted to jump in your automobile and come down to the Atl, I’d love to set a place for the both of y’all for Christmas – but, no matter what y’all decide on, I hope y’all have a wonderful, wonderful Christmas! xoxo
Happy Holidays! I love these potatoes. The crispy edges that you get from roasting are the best! Add a little cheese and herbs….and now you’ve got a spectacular side dish! Yum!!!
Crispy, golden-brown outside and creamy inside – my kind of potatoes! And the asiago garlic herb mix – hells yeah! I’m not sure what Craig and I are doing for Christmas either. We were considering just taking it easy, ordering Chinese, and catching up on Netflix shows; but these potatoes have me thinking twice! Perhaps take-out with a side of these awesome potatoes?
YUM! Now I’m craving potatoes! These look so perfect! Crispy on the outside and soft on the inside! Delicious! Have a great weekend Cheyanne!
xoxo Cailee!
I love how easy these are to make and how delicious all the flavors are together! Is it wrong to want to make theses potatos the main course ? We’re keeping things casual this year with an over the top cheese board and appetizers and I’m looking forward to it! I hope u make it to the restaraunt but yes you may want a backup plan just in case . Take care!
Potatoes are totally my jam and these with the asiago and garlic herb business need to get in my belly STAT! I would be eating these on the repeat too if they were in my house. Speaking of my house, if you guys don’t have plans then come on over! Just bring these taters! Please and thank you. 🙂 Cheers!
Potatoes are a must, I agree! I can understand boy wanting home cooking when your sides look like this! Wonderful recipe that I am pinning. Have a wonderful weekend and Merry Christmas!
LOVE red potatoes and we found they make for incredibly delicious baked potatoes. Lots of butter of course. But these sound awesome, loaded up with asiago cheese and garlic, how could one not indulge?
Since we were up in Portland and didn’t actually cook a turkey at home (missed the leftovers) for Thanksgiving we decided we are going to rub and smoke one for the big Christmas dinner. Thanks for the delicious side dish idea, mashed potatoes don’t seem as inviting anymore. 😉 Cheers!
The back up plan definitely sounds good when dealing with the holidays and boy! lol! I also wholeheartedly agree with extra garlic for these potatoes ’cause I’m a garlic lover too…and a potato lover…and a asiago lover…and a herb lover 😉 I need these potatoes for breakfast tomorrow morning.
Goooosh these look good. The asiago is really making me go crazy here– I love the flavor dimension that the cheese would add to the crispy-herby potatoes!
You keep reading my mind, Cheyanne. My Mother and I decided to Roast Crab for Christmas dinner this year. We were discussing sides, my favorite part of any meal, and I suggested potatoes. She decided on baked potatoes but I’m not sold, there are so many tasty things we can do with potatoes, its Christmas lets spice it up. These Asiago, Garlic, and Herb Roast Red Potatoes will do the trick, but those Asiago & Rosemary Potato Galette look tempting.
Give me all your potato recipes, Cheyanne – love them. I think roasted new potatoes are my favorite though. These look so delicious – I could eat the whole bowl. Love the addition of a little cheese and of course the fresh herbs! Have a great week.
Hey, Chey! Answering your question, NOPE, we haven’t planned our Christmas menue yet. I’ve brainstormed it a few times but then I though why would I use my brains? Chey will have some awesome ideas anyway! So I do rely on your recipes. But roasted potatoes are a must during winter holidays. I normally make them a little differently, but this version sounds and looks really good. And I like the addition of cheese here – nice touch.
These potatoes look so tasty! And talk about last minute holiday planning! I am a total planner so I would definitely make up a meal plan just in case, and if you don’t go out you’ll always have that as a backup!
It’s comin faaaast! I can’t imagine the limbo… my brain would too clouded to do anything! I gotta know what the plan is, ya know?! I say just gimme all the potatoes. What’s not to like? Those crispy edges, the salty cheese and all the herbs?! I love these so much Chey! Our plans are made. I’m hosting a get together tomorrow night and my chef friend will be here (I get a little anxious)!! But I’ve got the menu planned, and I’m heading to the store today to pick up last min. stuff. Looking forward to it! Hugs to you my dear!
I love using red potatoes with the skin on and mm, that asiago on top. Yes, please. This is such a classic dish that will go with whatever your main dish is on Christmas. And on top of that, all of my kids will eat them. Woo hoo! Hope you have a wonderful holiday. We are here entertaining for about two weeks. Seriously – lots of family here. I’ll need all the easy dishes I can get my hands on!
You know fuss-free, crispy deliciousness is right up my alley! And you know I have a serious love for all things potato, so these are seriously calling my name! Plus all that asiago cheese and garlic and herbs? Nom nom nom! Pinned! Also hope you have a more low-key Christmas than that last-minute Thanksgiving scramble – craziness girl! Have a fun weekend!
When I asked my husband where we going for xmas eve he said, why do we have to go out for dinner when you are food blogger and you cook amazing dishes 😀 OMG I was so mad when he said that but than again he’s right. As long as we cook amazing dishes, like THIS fantastic-looking-deliciousness, who needs restaurants right? hahaha 😛 Chey, this potatoes looks really fantastic. Perfect side dish to any meal. I love oven baked red potatoes spiced with olive oil and rosemary, and topped with fresh grated cheese… that’s just amazing combo.
We are not hosting this year, thank goodness, but we always bring a dish or two over to our in-laws and my mom’s. These yummy potatoes would be perfect! Love all that garlic and herbs!
You come up with such fabulous potato recipes, Cheyanne! I love everything about these cheesy, herby and LOADED with garlic.
Whatever you two do for Christmas Eve / Day, you’ll have a wonderful time because, you know, you’re together! (sappy but true 😉 )
I think you’re smart to make a back up menu just in case! You just never know right? 🙂 I roast potatoes weekly and I’ve never roasted them cheese….WHY? I’ve got to try that ASAP. The asiago with the herbs and garlic sound amazing. I could eat these every day!
“Christmahanukwanzika” Okay, this has got to be the BEST word mashup, like EVER. Can I just say, this is one of the reasons why I love ya??? You’re clever everything always makes me smile. <3 <3 Oh Boy!! He's such a troublemaker! Lololol. I'm all for having two plans, just in case. You and I are all about the backup plans for the backup plans. Hehe. I cannot even agree more on potatoes needing to be part of the holiday menu. Btw, just so you know, I have a running list of Things to Ask Chey to Make When We Meet Up that include all of your hummus(es???), like 500 of your cocktails, and all of your potato recipes. Plus a whole bunch of other stuff that my greedy self so cannot even remember right now. Darn it! 😉 These herb roasted potatoes look insanely good and are seriously gonna keep me up tonight with All the Hunger. Come over and cook for me, pretty please?? That's what besties do, riiiight? xoxoxo Muah!
It’s definitely looking like Christmas here (no chance of a green Christmas this year 🙂 Whatever you do, I hope it’s wonderful and delicious!
These potatoes are right up my alley Cheyanne!! Loving the addition of asiago cheese which is a favorite of mine. I would make these potatoes anytime just for flavor and ease of prep. Probably not cooking much on Christmas..Need a break..haha. But it sure has been feeling like Christmas with the cold air we just got coming in here…brrr..Pinning this one 🙂
I can totally feel the holiday cheer! I’m such a sucker for a good roasted potato, and these sound absolutely amazing!
As long as you two are together…it’s Christmas no matter what! I do agree with having a back up plan, though! 😉 Okay – I’m with Boy, I’d be eating these all the time too! For some reason I’ve been craving a baked potato….every day…for the past week! (The last time I craved a potato every day I was pregnant for Nick! I know that’s not the case!) These are Superb with a capital S! We’re having family over for Christmas Eve, then doing our own thing Christmas day…Just psyched to have all the kids home! Have a great weekend, milady! Cheers!
It’s starting to feel like Christmas here too! It’s so dang cold! haha I thankfully am not cooking for Christmas and am so looking forward to a break! But these potatoes! I’m just going to have to make them for a regular meal instead!
It does look more and more about Christmas! Hope you have a great one, no matter what you end up doing. Love potatoes and these look perfect!
I ADORE garlicky things. And if you share em with your SO, then you’re both stinky, so who cares! Asiago is an oft-neglected cheese around here….must remedy that ASAP!
Loving the asiago and garlic in these potaotes! They look fantastic! We are spending Christmas and new years at Chantal’s (Patrick mother’s) in Les Issambres, This will be the first Christmas without Bernard so I think we will stay in and spend the day cooking!
Always a perfect holiday side Chey! Love all the garlic in your recipe and the asiago! We’ll be in my favorite city, Charleston for Christmas this year. First time ever, away from home! Sean will be working, so he couldn’t come home, so Tom, Casey and I are going to him! Really looking forward to it! Hope you and Boy have a wonderful Christmas whatever your plans are!
I can’t believe we’re just a little over a week away from the festivities! I’m actually really looking forward to Christmas Eve this year, because my husband and I have nothing planned, which has never, ever happened before. We usually go to my dad’s house, then my mom’s, so it’s busy. But, my mom just moved to Georgia a few months back, so we decided to just do our own thing, stay in and make dinner just for the two of us, since we’ll see my dad and everyone else the next day. WHEW! I’m sure you’ll figure out a great plan, and I hope it involves these potatoes. You had me at asiago and garlic. Looks SO good! I could just eat these and nothing else. Pinned, of course! Hope you have a wonderful weekend!
It really is beginning to look a lot like Christmas!! We had a bunch of snow here today so it’s Winter wonderland, lol :D. Christmas Day Dinner is a meal I look forward to every year; I’m not the one cooking it (it’s my momma 😉 )….big turkey, LOTS of dressing and all the sides, of course! Can’t wait and even getting hungry just talking about it 🙂 Reservations sound nice out, but you definitely better make that back up menu just in case boy changes his mind again. These tatos look delicious. I do cook on New Year’s Eve and this would be perfect. Hubby and I usually have a nice meal at home (with champagne, of course) and to have cheesey, herby, crispy potatoes would totally round out the meal….though, I’m sure they are awesome even on their own 🙂 Hope you have a fabulous weekend, my friend! Cheers!!
How did you do it? You made the plain potato look like the one served in star restaurants!! I love all the fresh herbs. Geez…that potato Galette looks to die for too.
Staying in and going out are both nice options – I would have a reservation and make some food just in case. Surely it won’t go to waste over the Christmas period 🙂 Love the look of your roasted red potatoes – good to have a few easy and delicious recipes for the festive season!
