Tips for the garlic roasted potatoes recipe
- For extra golden potatoes, you can quickly broil the potatoes for 2-4 minutes after roasting.
- Parboiling potatoes is optional but recommended. If you want to skip this step, just roast potatoes for 35 – 40 minutes.
Which type of potatoes is best for roasting?
Potatoes are usually described as either waxy or starchy. For these oven-roasted potatoes, we recommend Yukon Gold because they sit somewhere in the middle. The thin skin helps potatoes heat quickly and evenly, and the centers stay creamy and tender—without turning to mush.
How to store roasted potato leftovers?
These roasted potatoes are best fresh out of the oven, but they can still make great leftovers! Let the roasted potatoes cool down completely before storing them in an airtight container in your refrigerator. Reheat them in the oven or on the stovetop to bring the crispiness back to the potatoes.
