KEY INGREDIENTS
- Baby potatoes: Of course, the most important ingredient in Garlic Butter Roasted Baby Potatoes are the potatoes themselves. Using small potatoes means that you only need to cut them in half, and they’ll roast evenly and easily.
- Butter mixture: The baby potatoes are coated in a mixture of olive oil and butter. This helps the outside of the potatoes crisp up beautifully, and adds a rich buttery flavor to the side dish.
- Seasonings: Along with the butter, garlic, salt, and pepper are also tossed over the potatoes before roasting. Then you can sprinkle on some fresh parsley right before serving, which adds extra flavor and beautiful color.

COOKING TIPS
- Prep time: Start by preheating the oven temperature to 400 degrees. You can also line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper or foil. The potatoes shouldn’t stick to the sheet, but it makes for easier cleanup. Then scrub the potatoes and slice them in half.
- Garlic butter coating: Place the potato halves in a large bowl. Then pour the olive oil, melted butter, salt, pepper, and minced garlic. Mix until the golden potatoes are evenly coated.
- Cooking time: Lay the potatoes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Then pop them in the oven. Roast the potatoes for 30 minutes. Open the oven, flip the potatoes, and continue roasting for 20 minutes so that they can crisp up on both sides. Once they’re cooked, take the golden-brown potatoes from the oven, toss them in parsley, and drizzle on extra olive oil if desired.
VARIATIONS
- Seasonings: There are a variety of herbs and spices that you can add to this recipe. Try sprinkling on some fresh thyme, rosemary, or oregano. For a more bold flavor add a bit of paprika or red pepper flakes.
- Sweet potatoes: Instead of regular gold potatoes, try using sweet potatoes. Because sweet potatoes don’t have a miniature version, you’ll need to cut them into smaller pieces, about 1″ thick. Then prep and roast according to the recipe.
- Lemon garlic potatoes: To give the Garlic Butter Roasted Potatoes a refreshing twist, you can add a drizzle of lemon juice before serving. Squeeze lemon juice over the freshly roasted dish, and toss to coat evenly.
- Cheese: Another way to add something extra special to this dish is topping the Garlic Butter Roasted Baby Potatoes off with cheese. Add a sprinkling of shredded mozzarella or parmesan cheese right after you take the dish out of the oven. That way, the cheese has a chance to melt before you serve the potatoes.

This is a very good, tasty, and easy recipe! It was a huge hit! Will definitely make this again.
Awesome! Thank you Michelle and thanks for the 5 star review!
Would these work as well with ‘Baby Red’ potatoes?
I’ve had some good luck with them, in the air-fryer & we love them.
Go for it! Let us know how they turn out!
Just made this two weeks ago and they were a HUGE hit! I did add more garlic and did add a bit of onion powder. These will easily become a favorite here. Also I only had Russet potatoes so I just cut them smaller. They browned beautifully!
Very tasted and easy to make. I didn’t not use as much garlic as listed and still had good flavor.
These are so good and easy to make. I make them quite often and everyone loves these..
