  • Total Time: 35 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale

Potatoes

  • 1.5 pounds Yukon Gold or red potatoes

Butter & Oil

  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

Flavorings & Seasonings

  • 3 cloves fresh garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley or rosemary, chopped
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Prep Your Potatoes: Wash and thoroughly dry the potatoes. Cut them into even, bite-sized pieces with the skin on to add texture and nutrition.
  2. Parboil for Tenderness: Bring a pot of salted water to a boil and add the potatoes. Cook for about 5 minutes until they begin to soften but are not fully cooked.
  3. Drain and Rough Up: Drain the potatoes well and gently shake them in the colander or pan to roughen the surfaces, helping create a crispier crust during roasting.
  4. Prepare Garlic Butter Mixture: Melt butter in a large pan over medium heat, add olive oil and minced garlic. Cook just until the garlic is fragrant but not browned to retain fresh flavor.
  5. Coat and Season the Potatoes: Toss the parboiled potatoes in the garlic butter mixture until fully coated. Season generously with salt, pepper, and stir in fresh herbs.
  6. Roast to Perfection: Spread the potatoes in a single layer on a preheated baking sheet. Roast at 425°F (220°C) for 20–25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and crispy all around.
  7. Final Touch: Once out of the oven, sprinkle a pinch of fresh herbs or a little extra butter over the potatoes before serving for added flavor and presentation.

Notes

  • Dry potatoes thoroughly before roasting to maximize crispiness.
  • Use high heat (425°F/220°C) to create a crispy crust while keeping the inside tender.
  • Do not overcrowd the pan; give potatoes space for even browning.
  • Flip potatoes halfway through cooking for uniform crispness.
  • Add fresh herbs after roasting to preserve their bright flavor and color.
