Crispy Garlic Butter Potatoes
Golden-brown potatoes, perfectly crisp on the outside and tender on the inside, infused with garlic butter for a comforting side dish.
Ingredients
Main ingredients
- 2 pounds baby potatoes
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- Salt to taste
- Freshly ground black pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
Preparation
- Rinse the baby potatoes under cold water to remove any dirt and pat them dry. Optionally, cut them in half for extra crispy edges.
- In a pot, bring salted water to a boil. Add the baby potatoes and cook them for about 15 minutes, or until fork-tender.
- Drain the potatoes and let them sit for a few minutes to cool, allowing excess moisture to evaporate.
Cooking
- Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes.
- Carefully add the cooled potatoes to the skillet and season with salt and black pepper. Toss to coat each potato in the garlic butter.
- Increase the heat to medium-high, letting the potatoes sizzle and crisp up for about 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally to achieve a golden color.
- Transfer the crispy potatoes to a serving dish, drizzle with additional melted butter, sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley, and serve.
Notes
Don’t overcrowd the pan to prevent steaming. Adjust heat levels if necessary, and a cast iron skillet yields great results.
