How to Make Dill Butter Roasted Potatoes
Preheat Your Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). This temperature is key for achieving crispy perfection on your potatoes.
Prepare the Potatoes: Rinse the baby potatoes under cold water and pat them dry. Cut larger ones in half so they cook evenly while maintaining their cute baby potato shape.
Create the Dill Butter Mixture: In a small bowl, combine melted butter with chopped fresh dill, garlic powder, lemon zest, salt, and pepper. Whisk until well blended; this will be your magic potion!
Toss It All Together: Place the prepared potatoes in a large mixing bowl. Drizzle about half of your dill butter mixture over them and toss gently to coat each potato evenly.
Roast Those Potatoes!: Spread the coated potatoes onto a baking sheet in a single layer. Drizzle remaining dill butter on top before placing them in the preheated oven.
Bake Until Golden Brown: Roast for about 25-30 minutes until they’re golden brown and fork-tender. Give them a shake halfway through baking for even crispiness and watch those beauties brown up nicely!
Now you’re ready to serve these flavorful Dill Butter Roasted Potatoes alongside your favorite main dishes. Enjoy every bite while basking in compliments galore!
