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
Set your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil for easy cleanup.
Prepare the Potatoes
Rinse and dry the baby potatoes thoroughly. Removing excess moisture helps them roast evenly and crisp up better.
Make the Garlic Butter Mixture
In a mixing bowl, combine the melted butter, olive oil, minced garlic, salt, pepper, paprika, and herbs. Stir well to ensure everything is evenly distributed.
Toss the Potatoes
Add the halved potatoes to the bowl and toss them in the garlic butter mixture until they’re well coated.
Arrange on the Baking Sheet
Spread the potatoes out in a single layer on the baking sheet, cut-side down. This positioning helps them develop a beautifully crispy, caramelized surface.
Roast the Potatoes
Bake for 35-40 minutes, flipping them halfway through for even crispiness. The potatoes should be golden brown and crispy on the outside while soft and fluffy inside.
Serve and Enjoy
Once roasted, garnish with fresh parsley for a pop of color and freshness. Serve immediately and enjoy the crispy, buttery goodness!
