Cut potatoes to roughly 1-inch pieces and they'll roast in the same 35–40 minutes at 400°F that bone-in chicken thighs need — which is why sheet-pan chicken and potatoes is a genuine one-pan, one-timer dinner.
How to choose
| Potato cut | Roast time at 400°F |
|---|---|
| 1-inch chunks | 35–40 min |
| Halved baby potatoes | 30–35 min |
| Whole small potatoes | 45+ min — cut smaller instead |

Frequently asked questions
What size should potatoes be cut for a sheet pan dinner with chicken?
About 1-inch pieces — close enough in cook time to bone-in chicken thighs that both finish together.
Should potatoes go on the pan before the chicken?
If the chicken is bone-in and the potatoes are cut small, they can start together; give potatoes a head start only if using a whole cut chicken or very large potato pieces.
