Ingredients Needed
- 3 tablespoons mayonnaise (about 1.5 oz)
- 2 cloves garlic, crushed
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 5 medium potatoes, quartered (about 1.5 lbs)
How To Make Potato Recipe
- Prepare the Mayonnaise Mixture: In a small bowl, mix together mayonnaise, crushed garlic, oregano, salt, and pepper. Set the mixture aside.
- Boil the Potatoes: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add quartered potatoes and cook for about 10 minutes, until the potatoes are almost done but still firm. Be careful not to overcook them or they may break apart. Drain the potatoes and allow them to cool slightly.
- Preheat the Broiler: Preheat your oven’s broiler on high. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and lightly grease the foil with cooking spray or olive oil.
- Assemble the Potatoes: Arrange the boiled potatoes on the prepared baking sheet. Spoon the mayonnaise mixture evenly over the potatoes.
- Broil the Potatoes: Broil the potatoes in the preheated oven for about 10 minutes, or until they are tender and the mayonnaise mixture is lightly browned. Enjoy!
Recipe Tips
- Don’t overcook the potatoes: Boil them just until they are almost tender. Overcooking will make them fall apart and lose their texture.
- Use fresh mayo for the best flavor: Fresh mayonnaise adds a creamier texture and a richer taste.
- Spread the mayo mixture evenly: Make sure each potato is coated for consistent flavor and browning.
- Monitor the broiling time: Broil for about 10 minutes, or until the potatoes are golden. Don’t let them burn.
- Add extra herbs or spices: Feel free to experiment with extra seasonings like paprika or thyme for a unique twist.
How To Store & Reheat Leftovers
- Refrigerate: Place leftover potatoes in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 3 days.
- Freeze: You can freeze leftover potatoes for up to 1 month. After freezing, let them thaw in the fridge overnight before reheating.
- Reheating: Place leftover potatoes on a baking sheet and reheat at 375°F for about 10 minutes until hot and crispy. You can also microwave them, but they may lose some crispiness.
