These garlic butter potatoes are truly incredible and so simple to whip up!<\/strong><\/p>\n

Garlic Hasselback Potatoes<\/h2>\n

So we’ve got two things going in here, which I’ll quickly touch on individually.<\/p>\n

Hasselback Potatoes<\/h3>\n

Hasselback potatoes are essentially just potatoes that have very thin slices<\/strong> in them to create a fan-like appearance<\/strong>. The ridges go gorgeously crispy. For this recipe, hasselbacks work perfectly because the butter can seep into every crevice of the potato!<\/p>\n

Roasted Garlic<\/h3>\n

Since we’re roasting the potatoes, it makes sense to roast some garlic alongside the potatoes too. Roasting the garlic completely transforms the flavour and texture<\/strong>. It goes gorgeously soft and sticky<\/strong>, with the flavour turns sweet and nutty<\/strong>. <\/p>\n

The potatoes and garlic should<\/em> finish cooking at the same time. Just keep an eye on the garlic because it can burn quite quickly. It needs to cook relatively slowly so it can gently caramelise.<\/p>\n

Process shots: slice garlic and drizzle with oil (photo 1), wrap in foil (photo 2), slice potatoes (photo 3), coat in oil and seasoning (photo 4), add to tray (photo 5), add garlic and roast (photo 6).<\/em><\/p>\n

Garlic Butter<\/h2>\n

Once the potatoes are crispy and hot, we’re essentially going to douse them in a simple roasted garlic butter. The way the butter then literally melts into potatoes is almost too much to bare!<\/p>\n

For the butter, all you need is butter<\/strong>, fresh parsley<\/strong>, the roasted garlic<\/strong> and some salt & pepper<\/strong> to taste. I like to have the butter pretty much at room temp so it spreads over the potatoes nicely. <\/p>\n

Process shots: add ingredients to bowl (photo 1), combine (photo 2).<\/em><\/p>\n

Garlic Butter Potatoes FAQ<\/h2>\n
\n
What kind of potatoes should I use?<\/strong> <\/p>\n

You’ll want to use a small variety of potato. I use \u2018Charlotte\u2019 potatoes, which are typically around 2.5\u2033 long. Large baby potatoes will work too.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

Do I have to hasselback the potatoes?<\/strong> <\/p>\n

I highly recommend doing so, just so the butter can melt into the potatoes. It’s a little faff but totally worth it!<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

Do I have to roast the garlic?<\/strong> <\/p>\n

Roasting the garlic is an important step to mellow out its pungent flavour. Adding raw garlic to the butter will be way too overbearing. <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

Can I make these ahead of time?<\/strong> <\/p>\n

I wouldn’t make the potatoes ahead of time but you could certainly roast the garlic, make the butter and tightly store it in the fridge until you make the potatoes.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
