- 2 lbs baby Yukon gold potatoes
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 garlic cloves, finely minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
- Flaky sea salt, for garnish
- Fresh oregano or parsley, for garnish
- Optional Dip:
- 1/2 cup sour cream or Greek yogurt
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon fresh dill or mint, chopped
- Salt to taste
- Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
- Wash and dry the baby potatoes. Place each potato between two wooden spoons or chopsticks and slice thinly, stopping before you cut all the way through.
- Arrange the sliced potatoes on a baking tray lined with parchment paper.
- In a bowl, combine melted butter, olive oil, garlic, rosemary, and thyme.
- Brush the potatoes generously with the butter mixture, making sure it seeps between the slices. Season with salt and pepper.
- Roast for 45–50 minutes, basting once halfway through, until crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.
- Meanwhile, mix all dip ingredients in a bowl and chill until serving time.
- Garnish the roasted potatoes with flaky sea salt and fresh herbs.
- Serve warm with the creamy herb dip on the side.
Notes
- Use chopsticks or wooden spoon handles to prevent slicing through the potatoes completely.
- Baby red potatoes can be used as an alternative to Yukon golds.
- Baste the potatoes at least once during roasting for extra flavor and crispiness.
- The dip can be made up to a day in advance for deeper flavor.
- These potatoes are great for holiday sides, party platters, or cozy dinners.
