I never used to make potatoes for dinner. Ben isn’t a fan of them but over the years, I’ve found that if the potatoes are crispy, he is a fan. Turns out, that’s how I like them best too! And after trying this roasted potato recipe, he couldn’t get enough of them. He said they tasted butter-soaked (spoiler: they’re not!).
My go-to recipe for the best crispy roasted potatoes always works like a charm, but I have to say these little cuties might be pushing out the diced potatoes for a place as numero uno.
Dill Roasted Potatoes
So easy! One reason I love this recipe is because I make it with the little potatoes that are sold by The Little Potato Company (not sponsored). These little gems are pre-washed and just the right size, so there’s no dicing. They’re just WAY easier to make.
Buttery texture and flavor. These little dill roasted potatoes are so creamy that Ben thinks they are soaked in butter. SOAKED IN BUTTER but with no added butter! If you can have something that tastes like it is soaked in butter but it really isn’t, isn’t that a dream come true? The combination of the olive oil, lemon juice, and the buttery insides of these potatoes gives that flavor and texture that has Ben fooled.
Ready to eat in less than 30 minutes. I literally just throw these onto the sheet pan and toss them with salt, pepper, olive oil, and dill. Twenty-five minutes and a squeeze of lemon juice later, they are on my table. It probably could be even quicker but we like them extra crispy.
Serving Suggestions
Dill roasted potatoes complement these crispy chicken thighs perfectly and you might even be able to fit it all on one sheet pan. They’re fantastic with this roasted Italian sausage or baked salmon with maple mustard glaze.
You could make things really easy and matchy-matchy by pairing these dill roasted potatoes with lemon salmon with dill! Why not? You already have lemon and dill for the potatoes. We also love these potatoes with skillet lemon butter chicken.
Add a side vegetable to round out the meal. These quick sautéed sugar snap peas with dill are a great choice. Simple sautéed spinach is always good, or for a slightly fancier presentation, try sautéed squash ribbons.
Needed for this recipe:
If you love potatoes with dill, you’ll want to try my dill potato salad. It’s loaded with fresh dill and dill pickles.

Notes
- Choosing the right potatoes: I like to use The Little Potato Company creamer potatoes (not sponsored), which are prewashed and naturally small, about 1 to 2 inches in diameter. You can choose the yellow, red, or a mixture. Other types of potatoes can be substituted but they may not have the same buttery flavor that creamer potatoes have.
- Extra crispy: Roast the potatoes a bit longer. Watch closely so they don’t burn.
- Seasoning: If you’re not a fan of dill, you can easily substitute a different herb of your choice, such as rosemary, oregano, or parsley. Different seasonings can be used, too. I often roast potatoes (and other vegetables) using my all purpose seasoning.

These dill roasted potatoes are fabulous! I love them with the lemon dill salmon, too.
I do not like dill, so I substituted dried celery flakes, onion powder and dried basil! WOW!
Sounds like a great combination!
Potatoes are actually one of the few vegetable-based side dishes my husband will eat, ha! I think our entire family would love this one, especially with the crispy edges!
