Roasted potatoes are a simple yet delicious side dish prepared by cutting potatoes into wedges or cubes, tossing them with olive oil and salt, and roasting them in the oven until crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. The high heat of roasting brings out the natural sweetness of the potatoes while creating a satisfyingly crunchy texture.

For roasted potatoes seasoned with olive oil and salt, a crisp white wine like Cortese or a light-bodied red like Pinot Noir would pair well. The high acidity and citrus notes of Cortese can cut through the richness of the potatoes, while the earthy and red fruit flavors of Pinot Noir complement the savory, roasted taste. Both wines have a balanced structure that won't overpower the simple yet satisfying dish.
