Ingredients
Scale
Roasted Potatoes:
- 1 lb mixed baby potatoes, rinsed and cleaned
- 1/4 cup neutral oil
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 tbsp onion powder
- 1 tbsp Cajun seasoning
Garlic Butter:
- 1/2 cup butter
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 15–20 garlic cloves, minced
- 1/2 tsp paprika
- 1/4 tsp pepper
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp sugar
Instructions
rep the Potatoes:
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Bring a pot of water to a boil. Meanwhile, cut baby potatoes into halves or quarters if larger.
- Once boiling, add potatoes and cook 10-15 minutes until fork-tender. Drain and shake off excess water.
2. Season & Roast:
- Return potatoes to the pot and toss with neutral oil, salt, onion powder, and Cajun seasoning.
- Lightly oil a baking tray and spread potatoes cut side down.
- Roast for 25 minutes, then flip/toss and roast another 15 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.
3. Make Garlic Butter:
- While potatoes roast, melt butter and olive oil in a pan over medium heat.
- Add minced garlic and cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring often—stop just before garlic turns golden brown.
- Turn off heat, stir in paprika, pepper, salt, and sugar until combined.
4. Serve:
- Toss roasted potatoes with garlic butter or drizzle it over before serving. Enjoy!
Notes
- For extra crispiness, let the potatoes cool slightly before tossing in garlic butter.
- Yukon Gold or red potatoes can be substituted for baby potatoes.
- Adjust Cajun seasoning for more or less spice.
