Garlic Roasted Potatoes
Garlic roasted potatoes are a simple, oven-roasted side dish made with baby gold potatoes, olive oil, and fresh garlic.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
- Wash and dry the potatoes thoroughly, then slice them in half.
- In a large bowl, toss the potatoes with olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
- Spread the potatoes on the baking sheet in a single layer, placing them cut-side down for best browning.
- Roast for 40 minutes, flipping the potatoes halfway through, until golden, crisp on the edges, and fork-tender.
- Remove from the oven and serve warm.

Notes
- Dry the Potatoes Well: Removing excess moisture helps the potatoes roast instead of steam.
- Cut-Side Down Matters: Placing the potatoes cut-side down against the pan encourages browning and crisp edges.
- Protect the Garlic: Keeping the garlic coated in olive oil helps prevent it from burning during roasting.
- Don’t Overcrowd the Pan: Spreading the potatoes in a single layer allows hot air to circulate and promotes even roasting.
- Season After Roasting if Needed: Taste once they’re done and adjust salt or pepper before serving.
