Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Wash and halve your baby potatoes for uniform cooking.
- Thinly slice the onion and mince the garlic.
- Gather all your ingredients to ensure a smooth cooking process.
Cooking
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the potatoes, onion, garlic, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Toss them until well coated.
- Transfer the mixture to a baking dish, spreading the potatoes out evenly.
- Add the chicken broth around the edges and dot the top with diced butter.
- Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake for 25 minutes.
- Remove the foil, sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese on top, and bake uncovered for an additional 10-15 minutes or until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown.
Serving
- Once the potatoes are perfectly roasted, take them out of the oven and allow them to cool for a few minutes.
- Garnish with freshly chopped parsley for a pop of color and flavor.
- Serve warm, either as a standalone dish or paired with grilled meats, salads, or your favorite veggies.
Notes
For extra flavor, season the potatoes with your favorite herbs like rosemary or thyme. If you want a lower fat alternative, swap butter for a light olive oil spray. Prepare the potato mixture a day in advance and let it marinate overnight for enhanced flavor. Use a high-quality cheddar cheese for maximum flavor impact. Store leftovers in airtight containers for a quick reheatable meal option.
