Crispy Garlic Butter Potatoes are a delightful side dish featuring tender potatoes roasted to golden perfection in a rich garlic butter sauce, infused with fresh herbs for an irresistible flavor and crispy texture.

Ingredients

Scale

Potatoes

  • 2 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes, cut into 1-inch cubes

Garlic Butter Sauce

  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon fresh thyme, chopped
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) to ensure a hot environment for roasting the potatoes to achieve a crispy exterior.
  2. Prepare Potatoes: Rinse and peel the potatoes if desired, then cut them into evenly sized 1-inch cubes to cook evenly.
  3. Mix Garlic Butter Sauce: In a small bowl, combine the melted butter with minced garlic, chopped rosemary, thyme, salt, and black pepper, stirring well to blend the flavors.
  4. Coat Potatoes: Toss the potato cubes thoroughly in the garlic butter mixture until each piece is well coated for maximum flavor and crispiness.
  5. Arrange on Baking Sheet: Spread the coated potatoes in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or lightly greased to prevent sticking.
  6. Roast Potatoes: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for 35-40 minutes, turning the potatoes halfway through cooking to ensure even browning and crispiness.
  7. Check for Doneness: Confirm potatoes are golden brown and crispy on the outside with a tender inside by piercing a cube with a fork.
  8. Serve: Remove from the oven, optionally garnish with extra fresh herbs, and serve immediately while warm and crispy.

Notes

  • Using Yukon Gold potatoes provides a creamy texture and crisp exterior, but russet potatoes can be used as an alternative.
  • For extra crispiness, soak potato cubes in cold water for 30 minutes before cooking and dry thoroughly.
  • Add a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese in the last 5 minutes of roasting for a cheesy twist.
  • These potatoes are perfect as a side dish for roasted meats, grilled vegetables, or as part of a brunch spread.
