Melting Potatoes
I’m not exactly sure where the name Melting Potatoes came from, but I think they should be called “Insanely Delicious” potatoes!ย ย
These potatoes are crispy on the outside and creamy on the inside.ย They have a bit of sauciness to them, and if you choose to add the optional lemon juice (which I highly recommend), you will be in for a treat.
I am usually given a hard time when I say a recipe is easy (“Oh yeah, easy for you!!”) but this one really is…Slice the potatoes, toss with an herb butter mixture, and roast.ย Couldn’t be easier!
Enjoy!ย These are my new favorite potatoes!!
