Make potatoes crispy on the outside and tender inside, coated in rich garlic butter and fresh herbs. This easy potato side works well for weeknights or holidays.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 lbs Yukon Gold potatoes, scrubbed and quartered
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. Place the quartered potatoes in a large pot and cover with cold, salted water. Bring to a boil and cook for 8 minutes. This parboiling step helps create crispy edges.
  3. Drain the potatoes well and let them steam dry in the colander for 5 minutes. Gently shake the colander to rough up the edges of the potatoes; this creates more surface area for crisping.
  4. In a large oven-safe skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the potatoes in a single layer. Roast for 15 minutes without moving them.
  5. While the potatoes roast, melt the butter in a small saucepan over low heat. Add the minced garlic, rosemary, and thyme. Cook gently for 1 minute until fragrant. Do not brown the garlic.
  6. Remove the skillet from the oven. Carefully pour the garlic butter mixture over the potatoes. Toss gently to coat.
  7. Return the skillet to the oven and roast for another 15 to 20 minutes, or until the potatoes are deep golden brown and crispy.
  8. Season with salt and pepper before serving.

Notes

  • For extra crispiness, use a cast-iron skillet.
  • You can substitute dried herbs for fresh, using 1 teaspoon of each dried herb.
  • These potatoes pair well with steak or roasted chicken.
