"Garlic Bread" Roasted Potatoes
Description
This recipe for "Garlic Bread" Roasted Potatoes uses Yukon gold or red potatoes cut into bite-sized pieces, seasoned simply with olive oil, salt, and pepper. After an initial roast to soften the potatoes, they are tossed in a whipped compound butter made with garlic, dried basil, and oregano, creating a rich, herbed coating.
The potatoes return to the oven for continued roasting, allowing the butter flavors to meld and the edges to crisp slightly. Parmesan cheese is then sprinkled on top towards the end, melting into a lightly golden layer that adds umami and a subtle salty finish. The result is a side dish that echoes the flavors of garlic bread through its garlic butter and herb combination, but with the textural appeal of roasted potatoes.
Serve these potatoes hot off the oven alongside grilled, roasted, or pan-cooked proteins or vegetables. The versatile herbed garlic flavor complements many main courses and adds a comforting, flavorful touch to meals.
Ingredients
- 8 medium potato or red potatoes, Yukon gold variety
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 tablespoons butter
- 5 cloves garlic
- 1 teaspoon basil dried
- 1/2 teaspoon oregano dried
- 1/2 cup Parmesan Cheese shredded
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Scrub the potatoes clean and cut them into bite-sized chunks.
- Spread the potatoes out on a baking sheet. Drizzle them with 2 tablespoons olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes.
- Prepare a garlic butter compound by combining the butter, garlic cloves, basil, and oregano in a food processor until everything is pureed and a bit whipped.
- After 30 minutes of roasting, remove the potatoes from the oven and top with the butter compound. Stir so that they all get coated. Put them back in the oven for another 15 minutes.
- Check on them and if they are done, top them with the parmesan cheese and put them back in the oven for another 5 minutes to let the cheese melt a bit. Your actual cooking time will depend on your potato variety and how big of pieces you cut them into. Serve hot.
