Enjoy these flavorful roasted baby potatoes with minimal effort. Loaded with fresh herbs and caramelized garlic, this is the perfect potato recipe that can be used as a side dish for any meal.
Ingredients
- 1 bag baby potatoes or fingerlings
- 5 cloves garlic smashed
- 1 tbsp olive oil extra virgin
- 1 tbsp unsalted butter or ghee
- 1 tsp thyme dried
- 1 tsp parsley dried
- Kosher salt to taste
- black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350º F/180º C.
- Slice the baby potatoes in half and place in the baking dish. Smash and peel the garlic and place in the baking dish. Pour over the olive oil, salt the potatoes and add the seasonings.
- Place the lid on and give a good shake to help coat all of the potatoes and garlic with the olive oil and seasoning.
- Place in the oven for 25 minutes but set the timer for 15 minutes. Once 15 minutes have expired, grab both sides of the baking dish (thumbs over the lid to keep it in place) with oven mitts and shake to toss again. Then set back in the oven for an additional 5 minutes with the lid on.
- Remove from the oven and add in the butter or ghee. Then place the lid back on, and shake to toss again. Place back in the oven, lid on, for an additional 5 minutes, then remove.
- Salt and pepper to taste and serve as a side to your main course.
Notes
Butter works fine for this recipe, but ghee (clarified butter) will make this recipe even better. Ghee is a butter that has been filtered to remove the stuff that easily burns. This makes the butter that much better, silkier, and much for flavorful.
