Crispy Garlic Butter Potato Rounds

Crispy Garlic Butter Potato Rounds

Crispy Garlic Butter Potato Rounds are golden, perfectly seasoned slices of Yukon Gold or red potatoes, baked to a satisfying crisp with a tender inside. Coated in aromatic garlic-infused butter and a hint of olive oil, these versatile rounds make an easy, family-friendly side or snack that pairs well with any meal.

Ingredients

Scale

Potatoes

  • 4 medium-sized Yukon Gold or red potatoes

Garlic Butter Mixture

  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 3 cloves fresh garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste
  • Fresh herbs (optional, such as rosemary or parsley), chopped

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Potatoes: Wash and slice the potatoes into thin, even rounds about 1/4 inch thick. Leaving the skin on adds texture and nutrients, but peeling is optional.
  2. Pre-cook the Potatoes: Boil the potato slices gently in salted water for 5 minutes to soften them slightly without making them mushy, ensuring tender centers after baking.
  3. Make the Garlic Butter Mixture: While the potatoes boil, melt the butter in a small pan over low heat. Stir in the minced garlic and let it infuse the butter for 1-2 minutes to develop a rich, fragrant flavor.
  4. Arrange and Season: Drain and thoroughly pat dry the potato slices to remove moisture. Lay them in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Drizzle evenly with the garlic butter mixture and olive oil, then sprinkle with salt, pepper, and optional fresh herbs.
  5. Bake to Crispy Perfection: Bake in a preheated oven at 425°F (220°C) for 25-30 minutes, flipping the rounds halfway through to ensure even browning. The potatoes should be golden brown and crispy on the outside while tender inside. Serve hot.

Notes

  • Dry the potatoes thoroughly before baking to maximize crispiness.
  • Cut potato slices uniformly for even cooking and browning.
  • Use room temperature butter to coat the potatoes evenly.
  • Avoid overcrowding the baking sheet to prevent steaming and ensure crisp edges.
  • Flip the potato rounds halfway through baking to promote even color and texture.
