Ingredients
Potatoes
- 1 ¾ – 2 lbs. small baby red potatoes, halved (may substitute Yukon gold potatoes)
Seasoning & Fat
- 3 tablespoons ghee, melted (or butter)
- 2 teaspoons dried dill
- 1 teaspoon dried parsley or chives
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon fine salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
Optional
- Ranch dressing for dipping
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 400°F (200°C) to prepare for roasting the potatoes evenly and achieving a crispy finish.
- Mix Seasoning: In a small bowl, combine the melted ghee or butter with dried dill, parsley or chives, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper, creating a flavorful herb and garlic mixture.
- Prepare Baking Dish: Pour the seasoned ghee mixture into a 9×13-inch baking dish, spreading it to cover the entire bottom to prevent sticking and to coat the potatoes.
- Coat Potatoes: Place the halved potatoes in the dish, then toss or brush them thoroughly with the ghee and herb mixture using your hands or a large spoon to ensure every piece is well-coated.
- Arrange Potatoes: Turn all potato halves cut side down and sprinkle a bit more salt on top to enhance crispiness and flavor.
- Roast Potatoes: Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes or until the bottoms are golden brown and crispy and the interior is soft to your liking.
- Serve: Remove from the oven and serve hot, accompanied by ranch dressing if desired for dipping.
