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
-
Prepare the Potatoes: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Place the halved baby potatoes on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
-
Make the Garlic Butter Mixture: In a small bowl, combine the melted butter, olive oil, minced garlic, salt, black pepper, paprika, and dried thyme or rosemary (if using). Stir well to combine.
-
Toss the Potatoes: Pour the garlic butter mixture over the halved potatoes and toss to coat evenly. Make sure all potatoes are well covered with the garlic butter seasoning.
-
Roast the Potatoes: Spread the seasoned potatoes in a single layer on the baking sheet. Roast in the preheated oven for about 30-35 minutes, or until the potatoes are golden and crispy on the edges, and tender inside.
-
Garnish and Serve: Remove from the oven and sprinkle with fresh parsley. Serve immediately as a delicious side dish!
Notes
- For extra crispiness, you can flip the potatoes halfway through roasting.
- If you prefer a different herb, feel free to substitute the thyme or rosemary with fresh basil, oregano, or parsley for a different flavor.
- You can add a squeeze of lemon juice for an extra burst of freshness before serving.
