Ingredients
1.5 pounds baby potatoes
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon salt
0.5 teaspoon black pepper
1 tablespoon chopped parsley (optional)
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Rinse and dry baby potatoes. Cut larger ones in half.
2. Melt butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant. Stir in olive oil and remove from heat.
3. Place potatoes in a mixing bowl. Pour garlic butter mixture over them, add salt and pepper, and toss well.
4. Spread potatoes on a parchment-lined baking sheet in a single layer. Roast for 25–30 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden and crisp.
5. Garnish with chopped parsley if desired. Serve hot.
Notes
Use Yukon Gold or baby red potatoes for best texture.
Roast in a single layer for even crisping.
Add fresh herbs or grated parmesan to customize flavor.
