Pro Tips for Recipe Success

    • Uniform Slicing: Cut and score the potatoes into uniform sizes to ensure even cooking. 
    • Dry the Potatoes: After cleaning, make sure the potatoes are dried well as they'll crisp up better during baking. 
    • Potato Size and Roast Time: To achieve the perfect roasted exterior and soft interior, baby yellow potatoes will take 35-40 minutes. Quartered Yukon gold potatoes should take 40-45. Any larger than 1-inch then you'll need to increase the roasting time.
    • Kind of Potatoes: You can substitute yellow baby potatoes with your favorite potatoes. Cubed russet potatoes, red potatoes, and sweet potatoes all work great. Adjust the roasting time as needed. Leaving the potato skin on sweet potatoes is personal preference.
    • Garnish Options: Adding grated Parmesan cheese or cheddar cheese on top of the potatoes in the last 5 minutes of baking adds another level of deliciousness! Bacon bits, sour cream, and garlic aioli are also excellent additions!
    • Fresh Garnishes: After baking, garnish the potatoes with fresh chopped parsley, chives, or green onions.
    • Butter Substitution: Olive Oil or plain butter can be used in place of garlic butter.
