About The Recipe

We’re switching things up today and sharing a savory side dish! I know it’s a bit different than what we typically share, but trust me, it’s a good one! After going through our recipe archive the other day, my mom and I noticed that we don’t really share that many side recipes.

It’s something we don’t really think about until the holiday’s!

Which, is kind of funny, as we always have sides with dinner. Honestly, we even have sides with our breakfast!

But when it comes to sharing them on the blog, it’s just something we’ve genuinely never thought about…until now!

These potatoes are something we make on repeat in our house for dinner, breakfast, brunch…you name it! So, we figured that they are the best way to start.

I mean, with just five ingredients and you can have the ultimate side dish!

Though, the absolute best part about this recipe? It’s not only naturally gluten-free and vegan, but it can be enjoyed at anytime during the day. Breakfast potatoes? Yep. Brunch? Even better. Lunch? How can I say no? Dinner? Just pass me the bowl!

Honestly, they’re super simple, so full of flavor, and a great healthy side that the whole family will enjoy.

Expert Tips

To make the garlic cloves easier to peel, run them under some water, then smash them with the flat part of a knife blade.
The longer you leave the potatoes in the brine, the more flavor they will have.
Make sure to stir the potatoes occasionally during roasting to keep them from sticking and ensure that they brown on all sides.
These are better served hot!
