Ingredients
- 2 lbs (900g) baby potatoes, halved
- 4 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tsp salt (or to taste)
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp paprika (optional, for color)
- 1 tsp dried thyme or rosemary (optional)
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
-
Prepare the Potatoes: In a large bowl, toss the halved baby potatoes with melted butter, olive oil, minced garlic, salt, black pepper, paprika, and dried thyme or rosemary (if using). Ensure all the potatoes are evenly coated.
-
Arrange the Potatoes: Spread the seasoned potatoes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, cut side down, to ensure they crisp up nicely.
-
Bake: Place the potatoes in the oven and bake for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown and crispy on the edges. You can flip them halfway through for even crispiness.
-
Serve: Remove from the oven and garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving.
Notes
- For extra crispiness, try using a cast-iron skillet to cook the potatoes.
- You can add more seasoning like garlic powder or grated Parmesan for extra flavor.
- If you prefer a spicier kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper.
