Ingredients

Scale

Potatoes

  • 2 pounds Yukon Gold or red potatoes, cut into even chunks

Butter & Oil

  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter (for browning)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

Herbs & Seasoning

  • 2 tablespoons fresh rosemary or thyme, chopped
  • 3 garlic cloves, crushed
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Prep and Parboil the Potatoes: Wash and cut the potatoes into even-sized chunks. Parboil them in salted water for 8 to 10 minutes until just tender but not fully cooked. Drain well.
  2. Brown the Butter: Melt unsalted butter in a saucepan over medium heat, swirling occasionally. When it turns golden brown with nutty aroma, remove from heat immediately.
  3. Toss Potatoes with Oil, Herbs, and Seasoning: Gently shake drained potatoes to roughen edges. Toss them in a large bowl with olive oil, fresh herbs, crushed garlic, salt, and pepper.
  4. Roast Until Golden and Crispy: Spread potatoes in a single layer on a lined or greased baking sheet. Roast in a preheated oven at 425°F (220°C) for 25 to 30 minutes, flipping halfway through for even browning.
  5. Drizzle with Browned Butter and Serve: Remove potatoes from oven, immediately drizzle with the warm browned butter, and toss gently to coat. Serve warm, garnished with fresh herbs if desired.

Notes

  • Choose Yukon Gold potatoes for the ideal balance of creamy interior and crispy skin.
  • Don’t overcrowd the pan to ensure even roasting and crispiness.
  • Roughing up the potato edges after parboiling creates more crisp surfaces.
  • Watch browned butter closely; it can burn quickly.
  • Finish with fresh herbs or a sprinkle of flaky sea salt for extra flavor and texture.
