Ingredients
Scale
Potatoes
- 1 pound baby potatoes
Garlic Butter Sauce
- 4 cloves fresh garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- Salt and pepper to taste
Garnish
- Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure easy clean-up.
- Prepare Potatoes: Wash and thoroughly dry the baby potatoes. In a large bowl, toss the potatoes with olive oil, salt, and pepper until evenly coated to enhance flavor and promote crispiness.
- Roast Potatoes: Spread the seasoned potatoes out in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Roast in the oven for 25-30 minutes until the potatoes are golden brown and easily pierced with a fork, indicating they are tender inside.
- Make Garlic Butter Sauce: While the potatoes roast, melt the unsalted butter in a pan over medium heat. Add the minced garlic to the butter and sauté until it becomes fragrant and slightly golden, about 1-2 minutes, being careful not to burn it.
- Toss Potatoes in Sauce: When the potatoes are done roasting, transfer them to the pan with the garlic butter sauce. Gently toss to evenly coat each potato with the flavorful sauce.
- Serve: Transfer the coated potatoes to a serving platter. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley if desired, and serve hot for the best flavor and texture.
Notes
- Make sure to dry the potatoes well before roasting to achieve maximum crispiness.
- Use parchment paper on the baking sheet for easier cleanup and to prevent sticking.
- If you prefer more garlic flavor, you can add an extra clove of garlic.
- Fresh parsley garnish is optional but adds a pleasant freshness and presentation.
- For a spicy kick, sprinkle some chili flakes with the salt and pepper before roasting.
