Oven Baked Butter Roasted Potatoes

Introduction

Oven Baked Butter Roasted Potatoes are the ultimate comfort side dish — crispy on the outside,
tender and fluffy on the inside, and coated in rich, golden butter. This simple recipe uses
everyday ingredients but delivers restaurant-quality flavor. Perfect for weeknight dinners,
holiday meals, or weekend gatherings, these potatoes pair beautifully with chicken, beef,
or even as a stand-alone snack.

Ingredients

• 2 pounds baby potatoes (or Yukon Gold potatoes), halved
• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 3–4 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon salt (or to taste)
• ½ teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon dried parsley or Italian seasoning
• Optional: ¼ teaspoon paprika for color
• Optional garnish: fresh parsley, grated parmesan

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Prepare the potatoes by washing and halving them. Pat dry with a towel to help them crisp better.
3. Mix the butter coating: In a large bowl, combine melted butter, olive oil, garlic, salt, pepper, and seasoning.
4. Coat the potatoes thoroughly in the butter mixture.
5. Arrange on a baking sheet cut-side down in a single layer. Avoid overcrowding.
6. Bake for 35–45 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crispy.
7. Garnish and serve immediately with fresh parsley or parmesan if desired.

Description

These butter roasted potatoes come out perfectly crisp and golden thanks to high oven heat
and the combination of butter and oil. The butter adds rich flavor, while the olive oil
prevents burning and promotes even browning. The garlic becomes fragrant and slightly
caramelized, giving the potatoes irresistible depth.

Tips for Perfect Roasted Potatoes

• Dry potatoes well before coating — moisture prevents crisping.
• Use a metal baking sheet for better browning.
• Don’t overcrowd the pan — space allows crisp edges.
• For extra crispiness, broil for the last 2–3 minutes.
• Try adding rosemary or thyme for a herby twist.

Corrections & Common Mistakes to Avoid

• Using too low oven temperature — results in soft potatoes instead of crispy ones.
• Skipping the flipping step — both sides won’t brown evenly.
• Using cold butter straight from the fridge — always melt it first.
• Overcrowding the pan — this causes steaming instead of roasting.
