Cowboy Butter Potatoes Oven

Baby potatoes baked in savory cowboy butter, tossed with garlic, Dijon, lemon, parsley, and spice.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 680 g red baby potatoes, halved
  • Salt, to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 1 teaspoon fresh parsley, minced
  • 56 g unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 clove garlic, minced or 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped or 1 teaspoon dried parsley
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika or smoked paprika
  • 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional, according to heat preference)
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Instructions

  1. In a small bowl, combine melted unsalted butter, minced garlic, Dijon mustard, freshly squeezed lemon juice, chopped parsley, paprika, crushed red pepper flakes, salt, and ground black pepper. Stir until thoroughly mixed.
  2. Set oven to 220°C and allow to fully preheat.
  3. Place halved red baby potatoes in a 33 x 23 cm baking dish. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Drizzle the prepared cowboy butter over the potatoes and toss to evenly coat.
  4. Bake for 35–45 minutes, tossing halfway through the cooking time, until potatoes are golden and cooked through with crisp edges.
  5. Transfer potatoes to a serving dish and finish with a sprinkle of minced fresh parsley. Serve immediately.

Notes

For extra flavour, use smoked paprika and adjust red pepper flakes to taste. Toss potatoes thoroughly at the halfway mark for even roasting and crispiness.
