Preparation Time: 10 minutes
Cooking Time: 40 minutes
Total Time: 50 minutes
Ingredients:
2 lbs (900 g) small thin-skinned potatoes (such as new or baby potatoes)
2 tablespoons olive oil (30 ml)
Salt and pepper to taste
1 teaspoon ground coriander (optional)
1 teaspoon paprika (optional)
2 tablespoons breadcrumbs (15 g)
½ head of garlic, skin on
2 tablespoons butter (30 g, softened)
1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill (optional)
Directions:
Prepare the potatoes: Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Peel or leave the thin-skinned potatoes whole and rinse them. Pat dry with a paper towel.
Season the potatoes: Transfer the potatoes to a large bowl. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt, pepper, coriander, and paprika. Toss to coat evenly.
Coat with breadcrumbs: Sprinkle the potatoes with breadcrumbs and mix well, ensuring the breadcrumbs stick to the potatoes.
Bake: Line a baking dish with parchment paper or foil. Arrange the potatoes in a single layer and add half a head of garlic (skin on) to the edge of the baking dish. Bake for 40 minutes or until the potatoes are golden and tender.
Make the garlic butter: Once the garlic is roasted, peel the cloves and mash them with softened butter until smooth. Stir in chopped dill if desired.
Combine and serve: Mix the garlic butter into the hot roasted potatoes until evenly coated. Serve immediately and enjoy!
Serving Suggestions:
Serve as a side with grilled meats, roasted chicken, or fish.
Pair with a fresh green salad for a lighter meal.
Sprinkle with extra herbs, such as parsley or chives, for added color and flavor.
Cooking Tips:
Use small, evenly sized potatoes for even cooking.
Adjust the amount of garlic to suit your taste—roasted garlic has a milder, sweeter flavor.
For extra crispiness, increase the oven temperature to 400°F (200°C) during the last 10 minutes of baking.
