Garlic Roasted Potatoes
Description
This recipe starts by making horizontal cuts in baby potatoes to allow seasoning to penetrate. The potatoes are then coated with a mixture of melted butter, olive oil, fresh garlic, salt, cayenne, and black pepper. These are roasted at 425°F, first for 15 minutes before turning and basting with the garlic oil again, then roasting an additional 15 to 20 minutes until tender. The high roasting temperature helps create a nicely browned exterior while keeping the inside soft.
The finished potatoes carry a balanced mellow garlic flavor with subtle heat from cayenne, complemented by the herbaceous note of chopped parsley sprinkled before serving. They can be made with red or yellow potatoes or a combination, providing flexibility with ingredients. They are ideal as a flavorful side dish for various meals.
Ingredients
- 1 lb. (500g) baby potato washed and rinsed
- 2 tablespoons butter melted, salted
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic minced
- 1 pinch salt
- 1 pinch cayenne pepper
- 3 dashes black pepper ground
- 1 tablespoon parsley for garnishing, chopped
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F (218°C).
- Place each potato on a wooden spoon and cut horizontal slits into them. In a small bowl, combine the butter, olive oil, garlic, salt, cayenne pepper, and black pepper. Stir well to combine. Toss the potatoes with the garlic mixture, ensuring they are well coated and that the mixture gets inside the slits. Transfer the potatoes to a roasting pan.
- Roast the potatoes for 15 minutes, then turn them over and baste with the garlic oil. Continue roasting for another 15 to 20 minutes. Remove from the oven, garnish with parsley, and serve immediately.
Notes
- You can use regular yellow or red potatoes or a combination of both for this recipe.
