Garlic Bread-Style Potatoes are roasted golden potatoes infused with buttery garlic, herbs, and melted cheese — all the flavours of garlic bread but in hearty, crispy potato form.

Ingredients

  • 900 g (about 2 lbs) medium potatoes (Yukon Gold, red, or small white), halved or quartered
  • 3 tbsp butter, melted
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped (or 1 tsp dried parsley)
  • 1 cup grated cheddar cheese
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Optional: 2 tbsp grated Parmesan
  • Optional: 1/2 tsp garlic powder or smoked paprika
  • Optional: fresh rosemary or thyme for extra herbs

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 200°C (400°F). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
  2. Wash and cut potatoes into halves or quarters, depending on size, to make bite-sized pieces.
  3. In a large bowl, toss potatoes with melted butter, olive oil, minced garlic, chopped parsley, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
  4. Spread potatoes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, cut-side down if applicable, leaving space between pieces for even roasting.
  5. Roast for 30–40 minutes, flipping once halfway through, until golden and crisp on the edges and tender inside.
  6. During the last 5–10 minutes of roasting, sprinkle grated cheddar (and Parmesan if using) over the potatoes. Return to oven until the cheese is melted and lightly golden.
  7. Remove from oven, sprinkle with additional parsley if desired, and serve hot.

Notes

  • Use a mix of butter and olive oil for flavour and crispness.
  • Don’t overcrowd the baking tray or the potatoes will steam instead of roast.
  • Adjust cheese quantity based on preference for meltiness.
  • Fresh garlic can burn if exposed; ensure it’s well coated in fat before roasting.
  • Serve fresh for the best crispness; reheating may soften edges slightly.
