Ingredients

  • 1.5 lbs Petite Yukon Gold or Fingerling Potatoes
  • 3 Tablespoons Melted Salted Butter
  • 2 Tablespoons Extra-Virgin Olive Oil

  • Drizzle with melted butter, extra-virgin olive oil, and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
  • Bake at 425 degrees for 35-45 minutes until they reach your desired crispiness.
  • Finish by sprinkling fresh parsley and serving with a delicious garlic cheddar sour cream dip.
