For an extra layer of flavor, try roasting the garlic before mincing. Simply toss the garlic cloves with a little olive oil and roast at 400°F (200°C) for 15-20 minutes, or until softened and fragrant. If you don't have French onion dip on hand, you can substitute with sour cream or plain Greek yogurt, adding a pinch of onion powder and a squeeze of lemon juice for a similar tang. For a richer flavor, brown the butter before adding it to the potatoes. Heat the butter in a saucepan over medium heat until it melts and turns golden brown with a nutty aroma. Be careful not to burn it! Consider adding fresh herbs like chives or parsley for a vibrant touch.
