🥔 Crispy Garlic Butter Potatoes
Serves: 4
Prep: 10 minutes
Cook: 35–40 minutes
Ingredients
- 2 lbs (about 900g) small potatoes (Yukon Gold or red potatoes)
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 3 tbsp unsalted butter
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp salt (adjust to taste)
- ½ tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp paprika (optional for color/flavor)
- 2–3 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
- Optional: ½ tsp dried rosemary or thyme
Instructions
1. Preheat Oven
- Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease.
2. Prepare Potatoes
- Wash potatoes and cut into even bite-sized pieces.
- Pat dry with a towel (dry potatoes crisp up better).
3. Toss with Oil & Seasonings
- In a large bowl, toss potatoes with olive oil, salt, pepper, paprika, and herbs if using.
4. Roast
- Spread potatoes in a single layer on the baking sheet.
- Roast 25–30 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden and crispy.
5. Garlic Butter Finish
- While potatoes roast, melt butter in a small skillet over medium heat.
- Add minced garlic and sauté 30–60 seconds until fragrant.
- Pour garlic butter over roasted potatoes and toss well.
6. Serve
- Sprinkle with fresh parsley.
- Serve hot alongside chicken, steak, fish, or even breakfast eggs.
⭐ Tips & Variations
- Extra crispy: Parboil potatoes for 5 minutes before roasting.
- Spicy: Add ½ tsp chili flakes to the oil mix.
- Cheesy: Sprinkle grated Parmesan on top after tossing with garlic butter.
- Herby: Mix in rosemary, thyme, or oregano for extra flavor.
- Air Fryer Version: 400°F (200°C) for 20 minutes, shake halfway.
If you want, I can also make a skillet version that’s extra crunchy on the edges or a garlic butter smashed potato version that’s even crispier inside and out.
