Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pounds Yukon Gold or Russet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1.5-inch chunks
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary or thyme, chopped
  • Coarse sea salt, to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • Optional: pinch of smoked paprika or chili flakes
  • Optional garnish: fresh parsley or lemon juice

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and allow it to fully heat for about 15 minutes.
  2. Wash and peel the potatoes (peeling optional for extra crispiness). Cut into evenly sized 1.5-inch chunks.
  3. Parboil the potatoes in salted boiling water for 8-10 minutes until edges are tender but centers are firm.
  4. Drain the potatoes and let them steam dry in a colander for a few minutes to remove excess moisture.
  5. Melt the butter and mix it with olive oil, minced garlic, and chopped herbs until fragrant, about 1 minute off heat.
  6. Place the potatoes in a large bowl and gently toss with the garlic butter mixture, coating every piece without breaking them.
  7. Spread the potatoes out in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet, leaving space between pieces.
  8. Roast in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, flipping gently halfway through (around 15 minutes) for even browning.
  9. Remove from oven and sprinkle with salt and pepper, tossing gently to distribute seasoning.
  10. Optional: garnish with fresh parsley or a squeeze of lemon juice before serving.
  11. Pro tip: For extra crispiness, broil for 1-2 minutes at the end, watching carefully to avoid burning.

Notes

Parboiling the potatoes is essential for achieving fluffy interiors and crispy exteriors. Dry the potatoes well after boiling to avoid sogginess. Mixing melted butter with olive oil prevents garlic from burning. Flip potatoes halfway through roasting for even crispiness. If potatoes are not crispy enough, broil for 1-2 minutes at the end, watching closely.
