Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 medium-sized Yukon Gold potatoes
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 teaspoons Fresh thyme
- 2 teaspoons Fresh rosemary
- 4 large Garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Peel the potatoes and cut them into evenly sized wedges to ensure they roast evenly.
In a large saucepan, bring salted water to a boil. Add the potato wedges and parboil them for 5-7 minutes, just until they start to soften. Drain thoroughly and let them air dry for a few minutes.
In a small saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Add the olive oil, thyme, rosemary, and minced garlic. Stir together and set aside.
Transfer the parboiled potatoes to a large mixing bowl and toss them with half of the herb butter mixture. Ensure all the potatoes are evenly coated.
Spread the potatoes in a single layer on a large baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Avoid overcrowding for maximum crispiness.
Sprinkle the potatoes with the salt and black pepper.
Roast the potatoes in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, flipping them halfway through cooking. They should be golden and crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.
Remove the potatoes from the oven and drizzle with the remaining herb butter mixture while they are still hot.
Sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley for garnish before serving.
Serve immediately as a side dish alongside your favorite main course.
