Ingredients
Scale
Potatoes
- 2 lbs baby potatoes
Butter Mixture
- 4 tablespoons butter, melted
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- Salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Prepare Potatoes: Wash and dry the baby potatoes thoroughly. If any are larger, cut them in half to ensure even cooking.
- Toss with Garlic Butter: In a large mixing bowl, combine the melted butter, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Add the potatoes and toss until they are evenly coated with the garlic butter mixture.
- Arrange for Roasting: Spread the coated potatoes in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or foil for easy cleanup.
- Roast Potatoes: Place the baking sheet in a preheated oven at 425°F (220°C). Roast the potatoes for 35 to 40 minutes, or until golden and crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.
- Flip Halfway Through: Around the 20-minute mark, use a spatula to flip the potatoes to promote even browning on all sides.
- Serve: Remove from the oven and serve warm. Optionally garnish with fresh herbs like parsley for extra flavor and color.
Notes
- Flipping the potatoes halfway through cooking ensures even browning and crispiness.
- Use a sturdy baking sheet and line it with parchment paper or foil for easy cleanup.
- Baby potatoes can be substituted with fingerlings or small red potatoes for similar results.
- For extra flavor, add chopped fresh rosemary or thyme to the butter mixture before tossing.
