  • Comforting: A classic side that everyone loves.

Ingredients

  • 2 pounds baby potatoes, halved or quartered
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil (optional, for roasting)

How to Make Garlic Herb Butter Potatoes

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the halved baby potatoes with olive oil (if using), salt, and black pepper. Toss to coat evenly.
  3. Spread the potatoes out in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  4. Roast in the preheated oven for about 20 minutes, or until the potatoes are golden brown and tender, flipping halfway through.
  5. While the potatoes are roasting, melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1-2 minutes, until fragrant but not browned.
  6. Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the chopped parsley and rosemary.
  7. Once the potatoes are done roasting, remove them from the oven and drizzle the garlic herb butter over the hot potatoes. Toss gently to combine.
  8. Serve immediately, garnished with additional herbs if desired.

Tips for the Best Results

  • Choose potatoes that are similar in size for even cooking.
  • Don’t overcrowd the baking sheet; this ensures they roast rather than steam.
  • Adjust the amount of garlic to your taste; add more for a stronger flavor.
  • For extra crispiness, broil the potatoes for the last 2-3 minutes of cooking.

Easy Variations

  • Swap out the herbs: Try thyme, chives, or dill for a different flavor profile.
  • Add cheese: Sprinkle grated Parmesan or feta cheese on top before serving.
  • Spice it up: Add red pepper flakes for a kick of heat.

What to Serve With It

These Garlic Herb Butter Potatoes complement a variety of main dishes. Consider pairing them with:

  • Grilled chicken or steak
  • Roasted salmon
  • Vegetable stir-fry
  • Barbecue ribs
  • Salads for a refreshing contrast

Storage and Reheating

Leftover Garlic Herb Butter Potatoes can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, simply warm them in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10-15 minutes or until heated through. You can also quickly sauté them in a skillet for a crispy finish.
