Ingredients
Scale
Potatoes
- 3 lb baby Yukon Gold potatoes, quartered
Seasonings and Flavorings
- 6 cloves garlic, minced (24 grams)
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter
- 1 1/2 tbsp olive oil (1 fl oz)
- 1 tbsp kosher salt
- 1/2 tbsp fresh rosemary, chopped
- 1 tsp Flavor God Garlic Lover’s Seasoning
Instructions
- Microwave the potatoes: Place the quartered Yukon Gold potatoes into a large, microwave-safe bowl. Cover with a plate or microwave-safe hard plastic lid to trap steam. Microwave for 10 minutes, stirring halfway through to ensure even cooking.
- Dry and season the potatoes: Remove the potatoes from the microwave and pat them as dry as possible using a clean towel. Add kosher salt to the bowl and stir vigorously for 2-4 minutes to rough up the edges, which helps achieve a crispy texture during roasting.
- Preheat the oven: Heat your oven to 425°F (or 400°F if using a convection oven) to prepare for roasting the potatoes.
- Infuse olive oil and butter with flavors: In a small saucepan over medium-high heat, warm the olive oil until it shimmers. Add minced garlic and chopped rosemary and sauté for 2-3 minutes until the garlic softens and turns golden brown. Add butter to melt, then strain the mixture to separate the infused oil from the solids. Reserve the garlic and rosemary pieces.
- Coat the potatoes: Toss the microwaved potatoes in the infused olive oil mixture thoroughly until evenly coated. Sprinkle with Flavor God Garlic Lover’s Seasoning and ensure even distribution. Spread the potatoes evenly on a large baking sheet.
- Roast the potatoes: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for 20 minutes. Toss the potatoes with a spatula to promote even cooking, then roast an additional 20 minutes. Add the reserved garlic and rosemary back to the potatoes, toss well, and continue roasting for another 20 minutes until the potatoes are crispy and golden brown.
- Serve and garnish: Before serving, optionally top the potatoes with freshly chopped parsley and flaky sea salt for added texture and flavor.
Notes
- Using the microwave to par-cook the potatoes reduces overall cooking time and helps achieve a fluffy interior.
- Roughing up the potato edges after microwaving ensures a crispier finish when roasting.
- You can substitute the Flavor God Garlic Lover’s Seasoning with your favorite garlic or herb seasoning blend if unavailable.
- For an even crispier texture, use a convection oven setting at 400°F if possible.
- Leftover potatoes can be reheated in a toaster oven or oven to maintain crispiness.
