🥔 Steakhouse Butter Crispy Yellow Potatoes

Why they work: Crispy golden edges, fluffy centers, and rich butter flavor make these the perfect side for a juicy steak.

Ingredients

• 1½–2 lbs yellow potatoes, halved or quartered
• 3 tbsp olive oil
• 3 tbsp butter, melted
• 1 tsp kosher salt
• ½ tsp black pepper
• 1–1½ tsp dried parsley
• Optional: freshly grated Parmesan cheese
• Optional: flaky sea salt, for finishing

Instructions

1. Parboil the potatoes
   Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add potatoes and cook for 8–10 minutes, until just fork-tender. Drain well and allow to steam dry for 1–2 minutes.
2. Preheat the oven
   Preheat oven to 425°F. Lightly grease a baking sheet or line with parchment paper.
3. Season the potatoes
   In a large bowl, toss potatoes with olive oil, melted butter, salt, pepper, and dried parsley until evenly coated.
4. Roast
   Arrange potatoes on the baking sheet cut-side down, spacing them apart. Roast for 25–30 minutes, flipping once halfway through, until deeply golden and crispy.
5. Finish & serve
   Remove from oven and sprinkle with flaky sea salt if desired.
   For Parmesan, add during the last 5 minutes of roasting.

⭐ Steakhouse Tip

For that restaurant finish, drizzle with 1 extra tablespoon melted butter right before serving — it adds shine and rich flavor.
