Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 2 lbs (900 g) potatoes
- 4 cloves garlic
- 3 tbsp (45 ml) butter
Seasoning:
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1 tbsp fresh parsley
Extras:
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1/4 tsp dried thyme
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup and perfect potato roasting.
- Wash potatoes thoroughly and cut into uniform 1-inch chunks to ensure even cooking and consistent texture.
- Melt butter in a small saucepan, then combine with minced garlic, olive oil, salt, black pepper, and dried thyme to create a fragrant seasoning mixture.
- Toss potato chunks in the prepared garlic butter mixture, ensuring each piece is evenly coated with the aromatic herbs and seasonings.
- Spread potatoes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, making sure they are not overcrowded to allow proper browning and crispy edges.
- Roast in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, flipping potatoes halfway through to achieve golden-brown crispiness on all sides.
- Remove from oven when potatoes are tender inside and crisp on the outside, with a beautiful golden color.
- Sprinkle freshly chopped parsley over the hot potatoes for a burst of fresh herbaceous flavor and vibrant color.
- Serve immediately while hot and crispy, enjoying the rich garlic butter and herb-infused roasted potatoes.
Notes
- Choose waxy potatoes like Yukon Gold or red potatoes for the best crispy exterior and creamy interior.
- Pat potatoes completely dry after washing to ensure maximum crispiness and prevent steaming instead of roasting.
- Space potatoes generously on the baking sheet to allow hot air circulation and prevent soggy, steamed results.
- For a dairy-free version, swap butter with olive oil or coconut oil and add extra garlic for rich flavor.
