Ingredients

Scale

Potatoes

  • 1 pound baby potatoes

Garlic Sauce

  • 4 cloves fresh garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. Make Garlic 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.
  5. Toss Potatoes in Garlic 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.
  6. 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 tossing in oil to achieve maximum crispiness.
  • Adjust the amount of garlic to suit your taste preferences—add more for a stronger garlic flavor.
  • You can use fresh herbs like rosemary or thyme as an alternative garnish for added aroma.
  • These potatoes can be reheated in the oven to restore crispiness.
  • For a richer flavor, you can substitute unsalted butter with browned butter.
