Garlic Butter Roasted Potatoes
Description
Garlic Butter Roasted Potatoes combines halved Yukon potatoes with olive oil, melted butter, minced garlic, salt, and pepper, then roasts them to tender perfection. Roasting at 400°F, the potatoes cook for 30 minutes before being flipped to ensure an even, golden finish after an additional 20 minutes. The garlic infused in the oil and butter seeps into the potatoes, giving them a fragrant, savory depth. Fresh parsley is stirred in after cooking to lend a fresh herbal note that balances the richness.
The texture is tender inside with lightly crisped edges from roasting, providing a pleasing contrast in each bite. The use of both olive oil and butter enhances the flavor complexity over using one fat alone. This side dish pairs well with roasted meats or grilled fish and can complement casual or special occasion meals.
