Cheesy Mini Potatoes with Garlic Butter recipe

In this Cheesy Mini Potatoes with Garlic Butter recipe, baby potatoes get festive with garlic butter and melty cheese, making them a great accompaniment for a fancy steak dinner or any protein of your choice. It’s a simple and budget-friendly side dish that’s incredibly delicious and satisfying.

First, you’ll boil the potatoes until they’re nearly tender, then let them roast for a bit to get that perfect crispy exterior. While they bake, melt some salted butter and infuse it with garlic and parsley for a rich flavor boost. After gently smashing the potatoes with the back of a fork to open them up, drizzle the garlic butter over them and generously top with cheese. For best results, you’ll want to use a blend of cheeses with both great flavor and meltability. Any of these will work well in this recipe: mozzarella, Colby Jack, Monterey Jack, Gruyère, Cheddar, or provolone. Also, be sure to shred the cheese yourself fresh from a block with a box grater. A quick return to the oven ensures that the cheese melts beautifully, resulting in a bubbling, cheesy delight. Enjoy!
