In general, I think potatoes are some of the easiest side dish choices available. You can also try my Crispy Miso Smashed Potatoes and Sweet Potato Mash With Miso Butter for the holidays!
Crispy Garlic Butter Potatoes
These crispy garlic butter potatoes are first boiled in water, then tossed in a simple seasoning mix. After that, the potatoes are baked until golden perfection, before being drizzled with a rich and aromatic garlic butter. And voila! A delicious appetizer.
The reason why we boil the potatoes first is to ensure that it has a soft, fluffy and tender interior. And once we roast them, we’re able to get that perfectly crispy texture on the outside.
It’s also great to turn the potatoes in the middle of baking to make certain that all sides are being roasted properly, resulting in a crispier exterior.
