GARLIC BUTTER

Sometimes the basics are the best! I've used this simple recipe for years to make garlic bread, and any leftovers go great on barbequed steaks, pasta, rice or potatoes. You can use any butter or margarine you like. Also, fresh or minced garlic in a jar works well. Adjust the amount of garlic to your taste.

Tips:

  • Select the right potatoes: Choose small, new potatoes that are firm and smooth, with no blemishes or sprouts. This will ensure even cooking and a tender texture.
  • Wash and dry the potatoes thoroughly: This will help the garlic butter mixture adhere to the potatoes and prevent them from becoming soggy.
  • Cut the potatoes into uniform pieces: This will help them cook evenly. If the potatoes are too large, they may not cook through properly.
  • Use fresh garlic: Fresh garlic has a stronger flavor and aroma than pre-minced or jarred garlic. If you don't have fresh garlic, you can use 1/4 teaspoon of garlic powder instead.
  • Don't overcrowd the potatoes in the pan: If you overcrowd the potatoes, they will steam instead of roast and become soggy. Make sure to leave some space between each potato so that they can cook evenly.
  • Roast the potatoes at a high temperature: This will help them crisp up and develop a golden brown color. Make sure to preheat your oven before roasting the potatoes.
  • Baste the potatoes with the garlic butter mixture: This will help them stay moist and flavorful. Baste the potatoes every 10-15 minutes during roasting.
  • Season the potatoes to taste: Once the potatoes are roasted, season them with salt, pepper, and any other desired seasonings. You can also add fresh herbs, such as parsley or chives, for extra flavor.

Conclusion:

This garlic butter potatoes recipe is a simple but delicious side dish that can be enjoyed with a variety of meals. The potatoes are roasted until tender and golden brown, and then tossed in a flavorful garlic butter mixture. This recipe is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
