Oven Roasted Parsley Potatoes
I’ve been making Parsley Potatoes for years using canned potatoes. They pale in comparison to Oven Roasted Parsley Potatoes. Red Potatoes are tossed in a mixture of butter, diced onion and garlic, then roasted in a cast iron skillet or baking dish.
The interior of the roasted red potato has an almost creamy texture. The outside of the potato that’s been basking in butter and seasonings becomes golden, like browned butter golden. What an incredible combination of textures and flavor.
I decided to make this recipe in a cast iron skillet. You can definitely use a baking dish if you don’t have one. The skillet enabled me to melt the butter, saute the onions and garlic and then toss the potatoes in and put the pan straight into the oven. I turned the potatoes about half way through the baking time so as much of the potato as possible would get browned.
If you don’t normally have fresh garlic, you can substitute it with garlic powder. The same thing goes for the onion. Use onion powder. You can add a little twist to the potatoes by grating Parmesan cheese over the top when they come out of the oven. Oven Baked Parsley Potatoes are easy, delicious and give you a whole lot of bang for your buck, you’ll be making them often, Enjoy!
