Introduction

Garlic roast potatoes are a simple yet flavorful side dish that pairs perfectly with almost any meal. Crispy on the outside and tender inside, these potatoes are infused with fragrant garlic and fresh parsley for a delightful taste.

A white bowl filled with roasted potato pieces, roughly cut into halves and cubes, showing golden-brown, crispy edges with a slightly wrinkled skin texture. The potatoes have a mix of light yellow and golden colors with specks of black pepper and herbs, unevenly spread. Bright green chopped parsley is scattered generously on top and between the potato pieces, adding depth and freshness to the look. The bowl sits on a white marbled surface, and in the background, small warm yellow fairy lights create a cozy, blurred ambiance. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

Ingredients

2 lbs potatoes, chopped
4 garlic cloves, minced
1/4 cup olive oil
Salt and pepper to taste
1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to ensure it’s hot and ready for roasting.
Step 2: In a large bowl, toss the chopped potatoes with olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
Step 3: Spread the potatoes in a single layer on a baking sheet to promote even roasting.
Step 4: Roast the potatoes in the oven for 35-40 minutes, turning them halfway through cooking to brown all sides.
Step 5: Once golden and crispy, remove the potatoes from the oven and garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving.

Tips & Variations

For extra crispiness, parboil the potatoes for 5 minutes before roasting.
Try adding rosemary or thyme along with garlic for a fragrant herb twist.
Use Yukon Gold potatoes for a buttery texture or russets for crispiness.

Storage

Store leftover garlic roast potatoes in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat them in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for about 10 minutes to restore their crispiness.

FAQs

Can I use other types of potatoes for this recipe?

Yes, you can use varieties like Yukon Gold, red potatoes, or russets. Each type offers a slightly different texture and flavor, but all work well for roasting.

How do I make the potatoes crispy?

Ensuring the potatoes are coated with enough oil and roasted in a hot oven helps crisp them up. Turning them halfway through cooking also promotes even browning. Parboiling before roasting can increase crispiness as well.
