Best Roasted Garlic Potatoes Recipe

Mashed potatoes and fries are a classic and just about everyone’s favorite, but in this house, there is nothing better than a perfectly roasted potato straight out of the oven.

Can you smell them? I can just thinking about it!

If you are looking for that perfect side dish to pair with a weeknight dinner or weekend dinner party, these roasted garlic potatoes are perfectly crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, and bold in every bite.

Garlic Potato Ingredients

Potatoes: for this recipe I used about 2 pounds of baby gold potatoes.

From the garden: to get those bold flavors, you will want to grab your fresh thyme, chopped parsley, garlic cloves, and salt and pepper, to taste.

For Cooking: olive oil and unsalted butter

ingredients in small bowls: potatoes, parsley, garlic, butter, olive oil

Tip!

Make sure to store your potatoes in a paper bag in a cool and dark spot in your pantry to extend their life expectancy!

*For a detailed list of ingredients and measurements, please reference the recipe card down below.

How to make Roasted Garlic Potatoes

1. Partial boil the potatoes. Bring a large pot of water to a boil, add the potatoes, and boil for 5-6 minutes.

2. Season the potatoes. Drain the water from the pot and toss the potatoes with olive oil, salt and pepper, thyme, parsley, and 5 of the minced garlic cloves.

3. Roast the potatoes. Arrange the potatoes on a baking sheet in a single layer, cut side down. Roast for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through. For extra crispy potatoes, broil for 1-2 minutes at the end.

4. Melt the butter. While the potatoes are roasting, place the butter and reserved minced garlic in a small bowl. Microwave, covered, for 15-20 seconds until butter is melted.

5. Serve. When the potatoes are finished, transfer them to a serving bowl and drizzle the garlic butter over top. Mix together and serve!

What Potatoes are Best for Roasting?

With so many potato options available at the store, it can get confusing trying to decide which potato is going to work best for the recipe you are making.

However, when it comes to roasting, you want Yukon gold potatoes, baby gold potatoes, or red potatoes.

What to serve with Roasted Garlic Potatoes

I love roasted potatoes because you can truly serve them with anything! When preparing a meal, I like to think about what flavors merry well together along with which side dishes I’d like to serve.

I try to pair every meal with a protein (wether it be fish, chicken, pork), a vegetable, and a starch.

Here are some of my favorite main dishes to serve with Roasted Garlic Potatoes:

  • Chimichurri Steak
  • Air Fryer Filet Mignon
  • Salmon Cakes With Lemon Dill Sauce
  • Basil Pesto Chicken

Questions You Might Have

Why won’t my potatoes get crispy?

The trick to getting crispy potatoes is to boil them first just enough to soften them. When the potatoes are done boiling, transfer them to a baking sheet with a drizzle of olive oil.

What is the difference between baked and roasted potatoes?

Both potatoes are cooked the same way (in the oven). However, a baked potato involves the whole potato whereas if you are making roasted potatoes, those have been chopped into smaller pieces.

How do you cut potatoes for roasting?

There is no wrong way to cut potatoes for roasting. You can cut them into cubes, triangles, or just do a general rough and quick chop. If you’re using baby potatoes, you can leave them whole if you prefer.

Is it ok to eat potatoes that are sprouting?

Yes, but only after you have removed the sprout.
