These dill roasted potatoes have quickly become a favorite in our house. My husband and I absolutely love them. They’re crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, and finished with a handful of fresh dill for punchy flavor. They were a hit at home and come together so easily, they’ve officially earned a spot in our regular rotation.

If you’re looking for more simple and flavorful sides, try my garlic parmesan rice or truffle mashed potatoes. Both pair beautifully with everything from roasted meats to lighter main dishes, and like these potatoes, they don’t skimp on flavor.

Tips for Success

Cut for Even Cooking. Halve or quarter potatoes as needed so they’re all roughly the same size. This helps them roast evenly.
Cut-Side Down = Crispy. When roasting in the oven, placing the potatoes cut-side down gives you the best crisping.
Don’t Overcrowd. Whether using the oven or air fryer, give the potatoes space. Crowding traps steam and prevents browning.
Add Dill After Roasting. Always stir in fresh dill after cooking to preserve its delicate flavor and vibrant color.
Air Fryer Shortcut. If you’re short on time, the air fryer delivers crispy results in nearly half the time.

Storage and Reheating

Storage: Let the potatoes cool completely, then transfer to an airtight container. Store in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.

Reheating: For the best results, reheat in the oven at 375 F (190 C) for 10–12 minutes or in the air fryer at 375 F for 4–6 minutes. Avoid the microwave if possible. It softens the crispy edges.
If reheating a large batch, spread them out in a single layer.

Equipment

Air fryer (optional method)

Baking sheet

Measuring spoons

Ingredients

1½ pounds baby gold potatoes halved (quarter any large ones) (Note 1)
2 tablespoons olive oil
¾ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon garlic powder
2 tablespoons fresh dill chopped
1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice optional

Instructions

Oven Method

Preheat the oven to 425 F (220 C).
Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil or parchment paper, if desired.
In a large bowl, toss the halved (or quartered) 1½ pounds baby gold potatoes with 2 tablespoons olive oil, ¾ teaspoon salt, ¼ teaspoon black pepper, and 1 teaspoon garlic powder until evenly coated.
Arrange the potatoes cut-side down in a single layer on the baking sheet. (Note 2)
Roast for 25–30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and fork-tender.

Air Fryer Method

Preheat the air fryer to 400 F (200 C).
In a large bowl, toss the halved (or quartered) potatoes with olive oil, salt, pepper, and garlic powder (if using).
Arrange in a single layer in the air fryer basket without overcrowding. Cook in batches if needed.
Air fry for 15–18 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through, until golden in color and slightly crispy.

Both Methods

While still warm, gently toss the potatoes with 2 tablespoons fresh dill and 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice (if using). (Note 3)
Transfer to a serving dish. Garnish with extra dill and a sprinkle of flaky salt, if desired.

Notes

Use Baby Golds: Their creamy texture and thin skins are ideal for roasting. Halve or quarter the potatoes so they cook at the same rate.
For oven roasting, placing them cut-side down helps develop a golden crust.
Always add fresh dill after cooking to preserve its delicate flavor.
Air Fryer Tip: Make sure the garlic powder is well coated in oil to prevent burning.
Time Saver: The air fryer method gives you crisp results in less time. It’s great for busy nights.

FAQs

Yes! Roast the potatoes earlier in the day, then reheat in the oven at 375 F (190 C) for 10–12 minutes before serving. Add the dill just before serving to keep it fresh and vibrant.

You can, but fresh dill really makes this dish shine. If needed, use about 2 teaspoons of dried dill and mix it into the oil before roasting. Just know the flavor will be more muted and earthy.

Nope! Baby gold potatoes have thin, tender skins that crisp up beautifully when roasted. Plus, the skin adds texture and extra nutrients.

These potatoes work well with anything from roasted chicken to pork chops and even salmon.

Definitely. Just make sure to use two baking sheets or cook in batches so the potatoes still roast rather than steam. Give them enough space for proper browning.
