Let’s talk ingredients. The beauty of this recipe lies in its simplicity. You probably have most of these ingredients in your kitchen already. Here’s what you’ll need:
- 2 pounds of baby potatoes, halved
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
If you’re out of fresh parsley, don’t sweat it. Dried parsley can work in a pinch, or you can skip it altogether. This recipe is forgiving, and that’s what makes it perfect for a busy kitchen.
Instructions
Now, let’s get cooking. You’ll be amazed at how something so simple can be so delicious. Here’s how you make Garlic Herb Butter Potatoes:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- In a large oven-safe skillet, melt the butter over medium heat.
- Add the minced garlic to the butter and sauté for about 1 minute until it becomes fragrant.
- Stir in the thyme and rosemary, letting the flavors meld for another minute.
- Add the halved potatoes to the skillet, tossing them in the herb butter to coat evenly. Season with salt and pepper.
- Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and roast the potatoes for 25-30 minutes, or until they are golden and tender. Stir halfway through to ensure even cooking.
- Once cooked, remove from the oven and sprinkle with fresh parsley before serving.
Tip: For a little extra crisp, you can broil the potatoes for an additional 2-3 minutes at the end. Just keep a close eye on them to prevent burning!
