GARLIC ROASTED RED POTATOES

Crispy, yummy Garlic Roasted Red Potatoes are fantastic and easy to make, plus they’re perfect if you add a little sour cream to the top. I’m sure this will end up being one of your favorite recipes to go with any yummy main dish you can think up, from weeknights to Thanksgiving dinner.

We love garlicky potatoes like my super popular Garlic Mashed Potatoes (which I made with Red Potatoes btw), the mixture of garlic and red potatoes are heavenly.

A super secret combo we love in our house (which may seem like a random assortment of items) is my favorite Slow Cooker Crisp and Juicy Chicken with this Garlic Roasted Red Potatoes recipe topped with my secret copycat recipe for Zankou Garlic Paste that we eat about as fast as Monica used to eat (which made poor Ross eat as fast as he could). We like to stuff it into pita pockets *carbs on carbs are a win to me* and eat them along side a Greek Salad.

These Garlic Roasted Red Potatoes last well in the fridge, and they’re incredibly easy to reheat and serve up. All you need to perk them up is a little unsalted butter: just put some on and pop them in the microwave until they’re heated through.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT RED POTATOES
