Crispy Magic: The Ultimate Guide to Perfectly Roasted Garlic Potatoes
Hey there, busy home chefs! So, it’s Wednesday night, you’re staring into the abyss of your pantry, and your family is probably going to rebel if you serve pasta again—sound familiar? You’ve got a budget, sure, but you can definitely still whip up something fabulous and crave-worthy. Enter: Perfectly Roasted Garlic Potatoes. Yep, grab those humble spuds, a few cloves of that magical garlic, and let’s make dinner a moment.
Ingredients List
- 1 pound of small red or Yukon gold potatoes
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 5 cloves of garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley (optional, but come on, fancy it up!)
Instructions: Because We Know You Need This Quick n’ Simple
- Preheat & Prep: Crank up your oven to 425°F (220°C) because we’re diving into crispy town. While that’s heating, cut those adorable little potatoes into quarters or halves if they’re teeny.
- Get Seasoned: In a large mixing bowl, toss those potato pieces with olive oil, minced garlic, sea salt, and black pepper. Don’t just throw them; give them a loving mix so every piece is garlicky and delicious.
- Single Layer Dance: Spread the potatoes in a single layer on a baking sheet. This is where crispy magic happens—potatoes need their space!
- Roast Away: Pop them in that gloriously hot oven for about 25 to 30 minutes. Stir halfway through because you’re basically a potato DJ now.
- Finish & Flourish: Once golden and crispy, remove them from the oven, sprinkle your parsley over (if you’re feeling it), and voila—you’ve turned basic potatoes into THE dish!
