Crispy on the outside, tender inside, and packed with savory garlic-soy flavor.
Ingredients (Serves 4–6)
-
2 lbs red potatoes, washed and cut into 1–1½ inch chunks
-
3 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
-
1½ tbsp soy sauce
-
4 cloves garlic, minced
-
1 tbsp olive oil
-
1 tsp black pepper
-
½ tsp salt (adjust depending on soy sauce saltiness)
-
1 tsp dried parsley or 1 tbsp fresh chopped parsley
-
Optional: ½ tsp paprika or red pepper flakes
Step-by-Step Directions
Step 1: Preheat
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
Step 2: Prep the Potatoes
Wash and dry the potatoes.
Cut into even-sized chunks to ensure even cooking.
Step 3: Make the Garlic Butter Soy Mixture
In a small bowl, combine:
-
Melted butter
-
Soy sauce
-
Minced garlic
-
Olive oil
-
Pepper
-
Salt
-
Parsley
-
Optional paprika or red pepper flakes
Stir well.
Step 4: Coat the Potatoes
Place potatoes in a large mixing bowl.
Pour the garlic butter soy mixture over them.
Toss thoroughly until evenly coated.
Step 5: Arrange for Roasting
Spread potatoes in a single layer on the baking sheet.
Do not overcrowd; this helps them crisp.
Step 6: Roast
Roast for 35–45 minutes, turning halfway through.
Potatoes are done when golden brown and fork-tender.
For extra crispiness, broil for 2–3 minutes at the end.
Step 7: Finish and Serve
Remove from oven.
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
Sprinkle with additional fresh parsley before serving.
