Garlic Potatoes – Easy and Simple

The taste is familiar yet somehow completely new. This delicious Garlic Potato dish is perfect for all your meat, poultry, fish, and lamb dishes.

Those tender and crispy potato rounds, infused with aromatic garlic, will leave you wanting more. I adore potatoes. The French in me is an everlasting present, and I am always searching for new ways to prepare them for my family.

This new dish combines a couple of my favorite dishes: Potatoes Anna and Oven Baked Milk Potatoes.

Most of all, and this is where I am confident you will love it too, it has only four ingredients!

Do not be frightened by the amount of butter. The butter enhances the rich flavor of the garlic and cooks the potatoes filled with excellent flavor.

It can go from oven to table without hesitation. I look forward to serving this again on Christmas Day.

I have been making this dish for years, which has always been welcomed. Even though it uses so much divine butter, once you bite into it, you will forget there is any butter in this dish.

This dish has been a favorite of our friends and their children for many years.

What potatoes to use?

The Yukon Gold potato is one of the favorites for roasting. Their skin is thin, so they cook pretty quickly if used unpeeled.

Waxy enough to hold their shape.

If using unpeeled potatoes is not my preference, ensure they are well scrubbed and washed to remove all dirt or any chemicals they may have collected in the dirt.

A quick note about the garlic

As you continue reading on, you will notice that I do leave the garlic unpeeled. I did that for the simple reason that once the garlic cooks and, in this case, roasts, it will overroast and become bitter to the taste and hard to bite.

However, keeping it in its paper-thin shell acts as a protective cover, allowing the garlic to soften while roasting, blending with the butter, and giving your dish a wonderful aroma.

Cooking tips and step-by-step instructions on how to prepare this wonderful garlic potato recipe

This is a very straightforward recipe and your oven will do all the work for you.

• Preheat the oven, and while it reaches the desired temperature, peel the potatoes and do the following:

• Clean, peel, and slice your potatoes to 1/8 inch thick. Please keep all the slices together to make arranging them in your skillet easier.

• Melt the unsalted butter and add half to your skillet. Swirl it around to cover the bottom of the cast iron skillet.

• Place all your potato slices in a circular pattern and evenly space them.

• Tuck your garlic cloves among the slices.

• Brush the remaining butter over the potatoes and season generously with salt and pepper.

• Bake in the hot oven for 30 to 40 minutes or until tender and golden brown. Each oven is different. Therefore, keep an eye out so as not to overbake them.

Bring your dish to the table and enjoy.

Storage and Reheating Leftover

If you have any leftovers, store them in the baking skillet, covered with aluminum foil. They store for a couple of days in your refrigerator.

You can also place the potatoes in an air-tight glass container and store in the refrigerator for a couple of days.

I do not recommend freezing potatoes as their consistency will break down.

To reheat, place your skillet in the cold oven, where you will set the temperature to 350F. Cover the potatoes with aluminum foil and dab a few pieces of butter in between the potatoes. Seal and bake for 15 to 20 minutes or until hot.
