How to Make It

Heat Butter

1. Heat butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add 2 tablespoons of butter and let it melt, coating the pan evenly.

Cook Potatoes

Add Garlic

4. Add garlic to the skillet and cook for an additional minute until fragrant, stirring to combine.

Combine Ingredients

5. Combine ingredients by returning the crispy potatoes to the skillet. Toss everything together in the garlic butter sauce until fully coated.

Garnish & Serve

How to Store It

Tips for Best Results
