Crispy baked garlic butter potatoes tossed in olive oil, fresh herbs, and cooked to golden perfection. A rustic, flavorful side dish that works for any meal.
2 lbs Yukon Gold potatoes, sliced or wedged
3 tbsp unsalted butter
2 tbsp olive oil
4 garlic cloves, minced
1 tbsp chopped fresh parsley
1 tsp chopped fresh rosemary
1 tsp chopped fresh thyme
Salt and black pepper, to taste
Optional: 2 tbsp grated Parmesan, lemon zest, or red pepper flakes
Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
Wash and slice potatoes evenly. Pat dry with a clean towel.
In a small pan, melt butter over low heat. Add olive oil and garlic; warm for 1–2 minutes.
Toss potatoes in a large bowl with garlic butter mixture, salt, pepper, and half of the herbs.
Arrange on a parchment-lined baking sheet in a single layer, cut side down.
Bake for 35–40 minutes until golden and crisp.
Toss with remaining herbs and optional toppings while hot.
Serve immediately.
For extra crispiness, parboil potato slices for 5 minutes and dry well before roasting.
Add Parmesan in the last 5 minutes of baking.
Store leftovers in fridge and reheat in oven for best texture.
