A couple of weeks ago, Hubby came home from our local farmer’s market with these lovely baby red potatoes. I didn’t even text him about going to the farmer’s market. He surprised me by coming home with farmer’s goodies, and a bag of fresh baby reds were amongst the offerings.
Our family loves our starches, but we typically gravitate towards breads, like this rosemary garlic bread. We also love our pastas and noodles, like this fail proof chow mein I often cook up. Ok, and rice makes its way into our starch-loving tummies, with sticky rice being a favorite. For whatever reason, we don’t do a whole lot of potatoes… possibly because the only potatoes the kids readily devour are in the realm of tater tots and french fries 😉
But when I made these garlicky, buttery, and yummy baby red potatoes, the boys devoured them indeed. These garlic butter herb potatoes are tender on the inside and slightly crisp on the outside. The aroma and flavors of garlic and butter are mouthwatering. The bit of fresh lemon juice (don’t be afraid!) give off a nice subtle tang that balances out the butter. The parmesan cheese baked to golden perfection… well, that needs no further description.
These Garlic Butter Herb Red Potatoes are simple, so tasty, and go well with any weeknight meal or weekend dinner you have planned. Enjoy!

This sounds so delish. I’m looking for potato recipes for camping. Up to what point would you stop at for the smashed red potatoes and the garlic/ herb red potatoes, then finish up at the campsite? Thanks so much
