This little sheet pan of Italian roasted potatoes is the kind of recipe that feels like it’s always been around, even if it did come from the age of bottled salad dressing and busy weeknights.

With just four ingredients, you drizzle, toss, and slide the pan into the oven. The dressing soaks into the red potatoes, the edges crisp up, and the herbs and garlic perfume the whole kitchen. It’s the sort of simple side dish you’ll find yourself making on repeat because it tastes like comfort but cooks like convenience.
