how long to bake red potato

The baking time for red potatoes depends on their size, the temperature of your oven, and whether they are whole, halved, or wedges. Here’s a general guide:

1. Whole Red Potatoes:

   • Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
   • Scrub the potatoes clean, poke some holes in them with a fork, and rub with oil and seasoning.
   • Bake for about 45-60 minutes, or until soft when pierced with a fork.

2. Halved or Wedged Red Potatoes:

   • Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
   • Cut the potatoes into halves or wedges, toss with oil and seasoning.
   • Spread them out on a baking sheet.
   • Bake for about 20-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until tender and golden brown.

3. Sliced or Diced Red Potatoes:

   • Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
   • Toss the slices or cubes with oil and seasoning.
   • Spread them out on a baking sheet.
   • Bake for about 15-25 minutes, stirring occasionally, until tender and lightly browned.

Always check for doneness by poking with a fork. Enjoy your baked red potatoes!
