Once you get a taste of these melting potato recipes, you’ll never want to make your spuds another way. The key to these creamy-on-the-inside, yet crispy-on-the-outside potatoes is to roast them at a very high temperature. You’ll be rewarded with a delicious potato that will simply melt in your mouth. Recipes like Balsamic-Rosemary Butter Melting Potatoes and Everything But the Bagel Melting Potatoes are flavorful, warm and the perfect accompaniment to any dinner.
Balsamic-Rosemary Butter Melting Potatoes
These melting potatoes earn their name with a technique that combines high-heat roasting and braising for a crispy outside and a wonderfully creamy texture inside. The broth cooks off, leaving behind a sweet and tangy coating. Serve them with roasted chicken or pork and a side salad for dinner.
Everything But the Bagel Melting Potatoes
Everything bagel seasoning, featuring seeds, roasted garlic and onion flakes, offers a delightful blend of flavors and a satisfying crunch to these creamy and crispy potatoes.
Melting Potatoes with Garlic, Prosciutto & Sage
These potatoes live up to their name and then some! They melt in your mouth, with the edges getting lightly crisp. We leave the skin on the potatoes for texture and a boost of fiber. Sage, marjoram and prosciutto combine for a warm flavor. If you don’t have marjoram on hand, use dried oregano or thyme in its place.
Miso Melting Sweet Potatoes
Inspired by melting potatoes, we gave the same treatment to sweet potatoes. The results? Roasted potatoes that are creamy on the inside but perfectly crisp on the outside. Adding miso to the butter mixture adds great umami flavor and helps the potatoes caramelize while baking. Don’t skip lining the baking sheet or the miso-butter might burn on the pan and cause the sweet potatoes to stick.
Melting Potatoes
The name for these spuds hints at their creamy interior. Roasting these melting potatoes at high heat ensures they get crunchy on the outside. Then, adding a little broth at the end allows the potatoes to absorb the liquid, making the insides extra moist.
Melting Potatoes with Creamy Lemon Dressing
These savory potatoes roast in a hot oven before they’re bathed in broth and slathered in a creamy lemon-infused sauce. Serve these silky potatoes alongside roasted chicken or beef.
Melting Sweet Potatoes with Sage Brown Butter
Once you “melt” sweet potatoes, you won’t want to make them any other way. These roasted sweet potatoes soak up broth to turn the interior into a creamy, melt-in-your-mouth texture. A sage-brown butter sauce finishes these potatoes for a truly stunning side dish.
Melting Sweet Potatoes with Mini Marshmallows
If you like sweet potato casserole, you’ll love these tender, creamy melted sweet potatoes. Slices of sweet potatoes “melt” into a savory broth with spices and are topped with mini marshmallows for a hint of sweetness at the end. They’re perfect for Thanksgiving or anytime in fall or winter when cooler weather settles in.
Lemon-Rosemary Melting Potatoes
These full-flavored potatoes are a great new approach to your typical potato side dish. The potatoes roast, then “melt” with the flavors of lemon, rosemary and garlic. They’re good enough for a special occasion, but easy enough for a weeknight.
Melting Sweet Potatoes with Maple Butter
As the name implies, these sweet potatoes melt right in your mouth. After browning in a hot oven, thick slices of sweet potato simmer in broth and soak up the flavors of maple syrup and lemon. This simple dish is great alongside roasted chicken or pork and makes a great Thanksgiving side dish.
Garlic-Parmesan Melting Potatoes
Crispy, buttery, cheesy, garlicky potatoes–what else could you ask for? Serve these melt-in-your-mouth potatoes alongside steak, pork chops, chicken or fish. If you have leftovers, throw them into a breakfast scramble the next morning.
Melting Sweet Potatoes with Herbs & Garlic
This savory spin on sweet potatoes uses earthy herbs and aromatics to help cut through the sweetness of the spuds, creating a beautifully balanced dish. Leaving the skins on helps the sweet potatoes retain some texture after being roasted, but they work just as well peeled. Look for sweet potatoes that are similar in diameter, which will help them cook at the same rate, and try smoked paprika instead of sweet to give them even more of a savory edge.
Salt & Vinegar Melting Potatoes
We love this method of roasting potatoes with broth because it creates a crispy exterior and a creamy interior. This recipe takes inspiration from one of our favorite potato chip flavors: salt and vinegar. Serve these potatoes alongside roasted chicken or with crispy fish for a fresh take on fish and chips.
Sour Cream & Onion Melting Potatoes
Try this fun spin on sour cream and onion potatoes. The potatoes roast, then “melt,” absorbing a savory onion flavor. They’re perfect for holidays but simple enough for a weeknight.
