Crispy garlic butter potatoes ready to be enjoyed with anything from juicy chicken to seared steaks. Cooked until golden in butter, olive oil, garlic and herbs. They’re simple enough to make on a busy weeknight, but stunning enough to serve on your next dinner party.
This recipe will work with any type of potato you have on hand. But if you can choose, go for a small variety with a thin skin. To really make the potatoes shine, we use a mixture of olive oil and butter.
We also add a generous amount of garlic powder to infuse them with a savory flavor. For the final flourish, use fresh parsley or thyme to brighten everything up. It’s a classic side dish that’s perfect for a weeknight dinner as well for a gathering with friends.
Let me guide you through the recipe with this step-by-step VIDEO.
RECIPE NOTES
- this recipe works with any type of potatoes you have on hand, but if you can choose go for russets, Yukon golds or fingerling potatoes
- you can use unpeeled or peeled potatoes
- don’t overcrowd the skillet. Spread out the potatoes evenly so all of them are making contact with the skillet, which ensures they all get golden and crisp. You can always cook the potatoes in 2 batches
- refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days
- when you’re short on time, you can boil the potatoes ahead, then you only need to finish them off in a skillet
