Description
Crispy Garlic Butter Potato Rounds are a simple yet delicious side dish. These golden, buttery rounds are crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, perfect for any meal.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 medium Yukon Gold potatoes (or russet), peeled (optional) and cut into 1-inch thick rounds
- 3 tbsp cornstarch
- 1 tsp kosher salt (plus more to taste)
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp paprika
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil (for frying/shallow frying)
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
- 1 tbsp chopped parsley (or dried parsley)
- Optional: pinch of red pepper flakes or Parmesan for topping
Instructions
- Cut potatoes into thick rounds. Rinse well, then soak in cold water 20–30 minutes to remove excess starch. Drain and pat very dry.
- Toss potato rounds with cornstarch, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika until evenly coated.
- Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat (about 1/4-inch depth).
- Fry potato rounds in batches 4–6 minutes per side until deep golden and crisp. Transfer to a paper towel–lined plate.
- While hot, brush/toss with melted butter and sprinkle with parsley (and optional red pepper flakes/Parmesan). Serve immediately.
Notes
- For extra crispiness, ensure potatoes are fully dry before frying.
- Adjust seasoning to taste.
- Best served fresh, but can be reheated in an oven or air fryer.
