Ingredients You’ll Need
For the Potato Bites
- Baby potatoes: Baby gold potatoes work beautifully because they turn creamy inside and crisp outside.
- Olive oil: Helps the potatoes roast until golden and crispy.
- Garlic powder: Adds savory flavor before roasting.
- Onion powder: Gives the potatoes a deeper flavor.
- Smoked paprika: Adds color and a subtle smoky warmth.
- Salt and black pepper: Simple seasoning that makes the potatoes taste bold.
- Cornstarch: Optional, but it helps create extra crispy edges.
For the Garlic Butter
- Butter: Creates a rich, glossy garlic butter coating.
- Fresh garlic: Gives the potatoes real garlic flavor.
- Parmesan cheese: Adds salty, cheesy flavor and a restaurant-style finish.
- Fresh parsley: Adds color and freshness.
- Red pepper flakes: Optional, for a little heat.
- Lemon juice: Optional, for brightness.
For Serving
- Ranch dressing: Classic creamy dip for crispy potatoes.
- Garlic aioli: Perfect if you want extra garlic flavor.
- Spicy mayo: Great for a viral snack-style plate.
- Sour cream dip: Cool and creamy with the hot potatoes.
- Extra parmesan: For a bold cheesy finish.
Best Potato Tip
Use small potatoes and cut them into even bite-size pieces. Smaller pieces get crispier and cook faster.
Best Garlic Butter Tip
Warm the garlic gently in butter for just 30 to 60 seconds. Do not let the garlic brown too much, or it can taste bitter.
