Description
Garlicky Crispy Potatoes with All the Herbs are a crispy, golden side dish with a fluffy interior, tossed in fragrant garlic butter and a medley of fresh herbs. They’re a comforting, flavor-packed addition to any meal and easy to make with simple ingredients.
Ingredients
- 2 pounds petite gold potatoes, halved
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- Kosher salt and black pepper, to taste
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- ⅔ cup chopped fresh herbs (such as basil, parsley, cilantro, dill, chives, and green onions)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 450°F (230°C).
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add the potatoes, baking soda, and generous pinches of salt. Boil for 10–12 minutes until slightly fork tender.
- Drain potatoes and let them sit in the pot for 1 minute to dry out slightly.
- Transfer potatoes to a large bowl, drizzle with olive oil, season with salt and pepper, and shake vigorously until rough and pasty on the surface.
- Spread potatoes in a single layer on a baking sheet. Roast for 20 minutes, flip, then roast another 15–20 minutes until golden and crisp.
- While potatoes roast, melt butter in a saucepan over low heat. Add minced garlic and cook for 1 minute. Remove from heat.
- Transfer finished potatoes to a platter. Drizzle with garlic butter and sprinkle with chopped herbs. Toss lightly to coat.
- Serve immediately for best texture and flavor.
Notes
- Use Yukon Gold or red potatoes for best texture—avoid russets.
- Shake the boiled potatoes well to create a rough surface that crisps beautifully.
- Mix up the herbs depending on what you have on hand or your flavor preference.
- Add lemon zest or Parmesan for extra flavor before serving.
- For dairy-free, replace butter with plant-based alternative or use all olive oil.
