Garlic Herb Butter Potatoes Recipe  

Everyone here knows I love potatoes in every form, but potato recipes in general tend to involve different forms of prepping the potatoes before cooking, and very few involve cooking them whole. So, with new potatoes being in season, I couldn’t resist the chance to use a few in season ingredients to use as simple seasonings and sharing an easy but delicious garlic butter potatoes recipe using whole new potatoes that can be a side dish used for just about every meal and occasion.

Ingredient Choices and Substitutions  

New potatoes are in season, and I wouldn’t recommend swapping them for anything else in this recipe. The fact that they’re small means we’re cooking them with the skin on and minimal prep, which gives them a crispy skin when cooking.  

As it’s in season right now, I’m using fresh basil in this recipe, but you can substitute it for dried if that’s all that you have on hand. And the oil can be substituted for any with a neutral flavour, such as rapeseed.  

How to store, reheat and does it keep?  

This dish is undoubtedly best served fresh, but you can reheat them if necessary. Store in an airtight container in a fridge for up to five days, and reheat in the oven, covered in foil. To prevent them from going soggy and keep those skins crispy, preheat your oven to 200 degrees, covering your potatoes with tin foil until warm, and then remove the cover for the final few minutes to allow the skin to crisp back up.

Ingredients

• 500 g new potatoes
• 2 tsp sunflower oil
• Generous amount of salt and pepper
• 2 tbsp vegan butter
• 6 cloves garlic finely chopped
• 20 g fresh basil chopped

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 180c. Place your oil in a roasting tray and leave that in the oven while it preheats to heat the oil.
2. Boil your new potatoes for 15 minutes until they’re ever so slightly tender when pierced with a fork.
3. Drain your potatoes and transfer them to your roasting dish. Toss in your salt and pepper and toss the potatoes to evenly coat in the oil. Lightly prick the surface of each potato with a fork (just once or twice per potato).
4. Place the potatoes in the oven for 30-35 minutes.
5. A few minutes before your potatoes are ready, heat a medium frying pan on medium heat, add your vegan butter. Heat until melted, then add your chopped garlic and basil. Cook for 2-3 minutes.
6. Remove your potatoes from the oven, pour roughly half of your garlic herb butter over your potatoes. Toss the potatoes once again to combine. Return to the oven for a further 10-15 minutes until your potatoes are golden and crispy. Remove your potatoes from the oven and pour over your remaining garlic butter before serving.

Serve and enjoy!

Until tomorrow,
