This roasted potato recipe has just three simple ingredients, but is loaded with rich flavor in every bite.

The potatoes bake up in about 30 minutes.

The gluten-free garlic butter roasted potatoes come out of the oven creamy on the inside and crisp on the outside. The garlic gets crispy while baking, and adds a delicious texture to the potatoes. The potatoes almost melt in your mouth.

Serve the buttery roasted potatoes as a side dish with chicken, turkey, beef, pork, seafood, venison or lamb. They are also delicious tossed in a grain or lettuce salad for more fiber and protein.
