🥔✨ THE EASIEST 3-INGREDIENT POTATOES EVER! ✨🥔
My best friend couldn’t believe how easy these were to make! With just 3 simple ingredients, you can turn ordinary potatoes into a golden, tender, incredibly flavorful side dish. 😍
They’re crispy around the edges, soft in the center, and packed with comforting homemade flavor. Best of all, you don’t need a long ingredient list or complicated cooking techniques!
🛒 Ingredients
- 🥔 2 lbs baby potatoes, halved
- 🧈 4 tbsp butter, melted
- 🧄 3–4 cloves garlic, finely minced
- 🧂 Salt and black pepper, to taste (optional)
👩🍳 Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
- Wash the potatoes thoroughly and cut them in half. Pat them dry.
- Place the potatoes in a large bowl and toss with the melted butter and minced garlic.
- Arrange them cut-side down on a baking sheet in a single layer.
- Roast for 30–40 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender inside and beautifully golden on the outside.
- Turn them once during cooking if desired for more even browning.
- Remove from the oven and let them rest for a couple of minutes.
- Serve hot and spoon any remaining buttery garlic flavor from the pan over the top. 🧈🥔
🔥 Cooking Method
The secret is simple: high heat + butter + garlic. Roasting allows the potatoes to develop beautifully browned edges while the inside becomes soft and fluffy.
For extra crispiness, make sure the potatoes aren’t crowded on the baking sheet.
