Ingredients

Scale

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:
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Prepare the Potatoes:
Wash and halve the baby potatoes. If they are large, you can quarter them for quicker cooking.
Season the Potatoes:
In a large bowl, combine the melted butter, olive oil, minced garlic, salt, black pepper, paprika (if using), and dried thyme or rosemary. Stir to combine.
Toss the Potatoes:
Add the halved potatoes to the bowl and toss them well to coat evenly in the garlic butter mixture.
Roast the Potatoes:
Arrange the potatoes in a single layer on a baking sheet, cut side down for extra crispiness. Roast for 25-30 minutes, or until the potatoes are golden brown and crispy on the edges. You can flip the potatoes halfway through for even crispiness.
Finish and Garnish:
Remove the potatoes from the oven and garnish with freshly chopped parsley. Serve immediately.

Notes

For an extra crispy texture, make sure to place the potatoes cut side down on the baking sheet.
You can substitute the dried thyme or rosemary with any herb of your choice like oregano or basil.
If you prefer to cook them in a skillet, you can heat the butter and oil over medium heat, add the garlic, then toss in the potatoes and cook until crispy, about 20-25 minutes, flipping occasionally.
