Ingredients
-
1.5 lbs baby potatoes, halved
-
4 tbsp unsalted butter
-
4 cloves garlic, minced
-
1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
-
Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
How to Make It
-
Prep the potatoes: Use a cutting board with measurement guides to halve the baby potatoes evenly, ensuring they cook uniformly. Wash and dry them thoroughly.
-
Make the garlic butter: In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté gently for 1–2 minutes until fragrant but not browned, allowing the garlic to infuse the butter.
-
Coat the potatoes: Place the halved potatoes in a large mixing bowl. Pour the garlic butter over them and toss well to coat every piece. Season generously with salt and pepper.
-
Arrange for roasting: Spread the potatoes cut-side down on a baking sheet (lined with parchment paper or a non-stick baking mat for easy cleanup). This helps achieve that crispy golden crust.
-
Roast: Place the baking sheet in an oven preheated to 400°F (200°C). Roast for 25–30 minutes, flipping the potatoes halfway through to ensure even browning on all sides. They should be tender when pierced with a fork and beautifully caramelized.
-
Finish and serve: Remove from the oven and transfer to a serving dish. Sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley for a pop of color and freshness. Serve immediately while warm.
