Cowboy Butter Potatoes


Tips for Perfect Cowboy Butter Potatoes

  • Size matters: Choose small to medium baby potatoes for even cooking. If some are larger, cut them to match the smaller ones.

  • Crispy edges: Make sure the potatoes are dry before tossing with oil and butter; moisture prevents crisping.

  • Extra flavor: Add a teaspoon of chili powder or cayenne for a subtle kick.

  • Make ahead: Roast the potatoes ahead of time, then reheat in a skillet or oven just before serving. They crisp up beautifully.


Serving Suggestions

  • Pair with grilled steak or chicken for a classic cowboy-style meal.

  • Serve alongside pork chops or roasted turkey for hearty family dinners.

  • Top with shredded cheese, bacon bits, or sour cream for a loaded potato side.

  • Great for brunch too — toss with scrambled eggs and herbs for a savory breakfast bowl.
