Having a good roasted potatoes recipe in your back pocket is an underrated kitchen trick.

I mean, what's not to love about roasted potatoes?

They're easy, they're so customizable and they're absolutely delicious.

And they pair well with almost anything. Which is great... but also, can sometimes be a dilemma.

Does it ever happen to you that you feel like you have so many ideas that it's hard to have any ideas? (No? Just me. Okay..)

Well, if you ever find yourself having trouble deciding what to serve with your roasted potatoes, this extensive collection of recipe is here to give you some inspiration!

Meat and Seafood Dishes

Roasted spuds make for the perfect side to all sorts of main dishes. You can't go wrong with serving yours with any of these.

1. Pork Tenderloin- This lean meat is delicious (and easy) when roasted or grilled. I love serving my no-sear pork tenderloin roast with a tray of potatoes.

2. Pulled Pork- While fries may be more of a go-to side with pulled pork, roasted potatoes should not be overlooked!

3. Roast Chicken- Trade in your mashed potatoes for roasted to serve alongside with a whole roasted chicken. And gravy doesn't just have to be reserved for mashed either.

4. Chicken Skewers- Whether grilled or oven-baked, chicken skewers are wonderfully complemented by roasted potatoes.

5. Steak- It's hard to beat the classic combination of steak and potatoes (especially if you make these "roasted" air fryer fingerling potatoes!).

6. Meatballs- No matter the flavor of meatballs (like these turkey Swedish ones), roast potatoes are sure to make for a great accompaniment.

7. Meatloaf- This classic comfort food is perfect served with roasted potatoes.

8. Burgers- Another place where swapping out fries for roasted is undeniably tasty.

9. Baked Salmon- If you're looking to make an easy meal that also feels fancy, baked salmon and roasted potatoes is perfect! Quick and simple, it tastes anything but.

10. Roasted Cod- Like salmon, roasted cod and potatoes is another meal that will make you feel like you're out for a nice dinner but with minimal effort. I highly recommend making my Herb Roasted Cod with Cherry Tomatoes!

Vegetables

Alright, now that we've gotten some mains covered, let's talk about some tasty vegetable dishes to serve with your roasted starch.

11. Dill Sautéed Carrots and Zucchini- This easy dish is filled with fresh and summery flavor.

12. Sautéed Carrots and Spinach- A simple and delicious way to incorporate some greens.

13. Brussels Sprouts- Try making these balsamic sautéed Brussels sprouts to serve along with your roasted potatoes.

14. Green Beans- This sautéed frozen green beans is an incredibly easy, last minute side dish.

15. Corn- You can never go wrong with corn on the cob or this Cajun Corn.

16. Chard- Parmesan Garlic Sautéed Swiss Chard is a great side dish, especially in the summer when this green is in season.

17. Butternut Squash- This air fryer herb garlic butternut squash is something I almost always serve with roasted potatoes in the autumn.

18. Baked Herb Tomato Zucchini- Filled with fresh summer vegetables, this herby baked dish is great with roasted potatoes.

19. Roasted Carrots and Asparagus- Complement your roasted potatoes with an additional pan of roasted vegetables.

Salads

If you'd rather opt for some fresh vegetables, try serving your potatoes with one of these salads.

20. Cherry Tomato Caprese Salad- This tasty salad is a great accompaniment.

21. Caesar Salad- This popular salad is fantastic with almost any meal, but most definitely with roasted potatoes.

22. Spinach Salad- This green salad features a balsamic vinegar poppy seed dressing, creamy goat cheese and crunchy nuts. It is perfect with some roasted potatoes.

23. Mediterranean Salad- This is a great choice if you want a veggie-packed salad but don't want leafy greens to serve with your roast spuds.

24. Slaw- A simple and well received pairing to roasted potatoes, you could serve classic, Chimichurri or a Lemon Tahini Slaw version.

Other Sides

25. Baked Beans- Sweet, savory and saucy, baked beans pair well with roasted potatoes. I especially like serving this with burgers as well.

26. Garlic Toast- You can never go wrong with a side of garlic toast.

27. Sourdough Stuffing- This classic holiday side is often served with mashed potatoes but it is equally delicious with roasted.

Breakfast

Roasted potatoes are not just for serving with dinner! If you like hash browns or home fries, then you'll like roasted potatoes for breakfast as well.

28. Frittata- Round out your frittata with some roasted potatoes. You could serve it as breakfast or dinner.

29. Sourdough Breakfast Sandwich- This sandwich is delicious with a side of roasted taters.

30. Eggs Benedict- Whenever we make eggs benny at home (with this easy Hollandaise), I like to make a side of roasted potatoes.

Desserts

Now, let's not forget about a sweet treat to end your meal!

31. Fruit Crisp- This easy dessert is something I make year round. Depending on what is in season, you can make apple, strawberry, Saskatoon berry, cranberry and more.

32. Brownies- This rich chocolate-y dessert is always a good idea.

33. Lava Cakes- Made with just 3 ingredients, these always impress and are the perfect way to end your roasted potatoes dinner. Especially if you're entertaining guests!
