Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 pounds baby potatoes
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoons kosher salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 3 anchovy fillets
- 1 garlic clove
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Wash and dry the baby potatoes. Cut any larger potatoes in half to ensure even cooking, but leave smaller potatoes whole.
On a large baking sheet, toss the potatoes with olive oil, kosher salt, and black pepper. Spread them out in an even layer, cut side down if halved.
Roast the potatoes in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, tossing halfway through, until golden brown and crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.
While the potatoes are roasting, prepare the anchovy butter. Finely chop the anchovy fillets and the garlic clove.
In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the unsalted butter. Add the chopped anchovies and garlic, stirring gently until the anchovies dissolve into the butter, about 2-3 minutes. Remove the saucepan from heat.
Once the potatoes are done roasting, transfer them to a large bowl. Pour the warm anchovy butter over the potatoes and toss to coat evenly.
Sprinkle the roasted potatoes with chopped fresh parsley and lemon zest for a bright finishing touch.
Serve immediately as a side dish alongside your favorite main course. Enjoy!
