🧂 Ingredients Needed

- olive oil - helps the potatoes take on a nice crispy exterior.
- spices - chipotle powder, salt, and black pepper are all you need for additional flavor!

🔪 Instructions
Prepare Potatoes
Wash and dry the potatoes well, then cut them into cubes and place in a bowl.
Make Dressing
Combine red pepper dressing with chipotle, salt, pepper, garlic, and onion.
Season Potatoes
Pour dressing over the potatoes and toss to coat.
Transfer Potatoes
Pile the potatoes in a prepared casserole dish.
Bake
Place in a 450 degree oven for 45 minutes or up to an hour, mixing every 10 minutes or so. Sprinkle with chopped green onions before serving.
Be sure to dry the potatoes properly after scrubbing them clean! If there's residual moisture, they might not get as crispy in the oven.
❔ FAQs
No, you can leave the potato skins on. They'll get nice and crisp as they bake and provide a bit of extra flavor and texture. If you don't like potatoes with the skins on, you can peel them first if you prefer!
Russet potatoes are a great option, but Yukon gold and red potatoes also work well. Anything that has a good amount of waxy starch and won't fall apart when cooked is perfect!
The spice level can vary; adjust the amount of chipotle to suit your taste preferences.

💡 Expert Tips and Tricks
- Some grocery stores sell pre-cut potatoes, which can help cut down on prep time.
- Another shortcut is to buy frozen diced onions instead of dicing fresh onion.
- Use a fork to test your potatoes for tenderness as they cook.
- If you find your potatoes are browning too quickly, cover the dish with aluminum foil for the rest of the cooking time.
- You can also roast the potatoes spread out on a baking sheet or microwaved and then tossed in the dressing.

These chipotle potatoes are perfect for adding some flair to holiday meals, but they're easy enough for any Sunday dinner!
📝 Substitutions and Variations
- If you can't find roasted red pepper dressing, a sun dried tomato dressing or chipotle dressing is also a fine substitute.
- Feel free to use more or less seasonings depending on your taste. Taste the dressing before adding it to the potatoes and adjust as needed.
- Use smoked paprika instead of chipotle if you're not a fan of spicy food but still want that warm and smoky flavor.
- Add more flavor with herbs like thyme, rosemary, or oregano.
- Give your potatoes a cheesy finish by sprinkling with Parmesan cheese or some feta crumbles.
- Make your chipotle potatoes even healthier by adding more veggies like broccoli, bell peppers, zucchini, or carrots.
🥡 Storage and Reheating
Allow leftover chipotle roasted potatoes to cool, then transfer to an airtight container and store in the fridge for 4 to 5 days. You can also keep your potatoes in the freezer for 3 months or so.
Microwave to reheat, or bake them in the oven at 350 degrees until they're crispy again and heated through. I recommend allowing frozen leftovers to thaw before cooking.
🍴 What To Serve With This Dish
These tasty potatoes with onions and garlic pair well with so many savory main dishes, like these Honey Garlic Ribs, a batch of Green Poblano Spaghetti, a super easy One Pan Honey Garlic Chicken Thighs dinner, or this One Pot Broccoli Mac and Cheese.

Notes
- To save time, you can use pre-cut, refrigerated potato cubes available at grocery stores to save time on chopping.

- Buy frozen or fresh pre-diced onions as another time-saving shortcut.
- If you don’t have roasted red pepper dressing on hand, you can use sun-dried tomato dressing or even a chipotle dressing
- Test the potatoes with a fork for tenderness. If they are browning too quickly, cover the dish with foil to prevent burning while allowing them to cook through.
- Yukon gold or red potatoes can be used instead of russet, although they will yield a bit of a different texture and flavor.
- Adjust the chipotle spice to your taste. You can also mix in smoked paprika for a smoky flavor without extra heat.
- If desired, add your favorite herbs such as rosemary, thyme, or parsley for even more flavor.
- Sprinkle grated Parmesan or crumbled feta cheese over the potatoes for added richness.
- You can add other vegetables like diced bell peppers, zucchini, or carrots for additional color and flavor.
- Alternate cooking methods:
- Spread the potatoes on a parchment-lined baking sheet for faster cooking and easier cleanup. This will also result in crispier potatoes.
- Microwave the cubed potatoes for 5-7 minutes before tossing with the dressing mixture. This can reduce oven time and ensure the potatoes cook evenly.
