Ingredients

Scale

Potatoes

  • 1.5 pounds baby potatoes (Yukon Gold or red), washed and halved if large

Garlic Butter Sauce

  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 4 cloves fresh garlic, minced or sliced
  • 1–2 tablespoons olive oil (optional)

Toppings & Seasoning

  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Potatoes: Begin by washing and drying your baby potatoes thoroughly. Keep the skins on for added texture and nutrients. Cut larger potatoes in half to ensure even roasting.
  2. Mix the Garlic Butter: In a small saucepan or microwave-safe bowl, melt the unsalted butter and stir in the minced garlic. Let the mixture infuse while warm to deepen the flavor.
  3. Coat the Potatoes: Place the potatoes in a large mixing bowl. If using, drizzle olive oil over them, then pour the warm garlic butter mixture on top. Toss well to coat all the potatoes evenly with the flavorful butter and garlic.
  4. Roast the Potatoes: Spread the coated potatoes evenly on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or foil for easy cleanup. Roast in a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) for 25-30 minutes, flipping the potatoes halfway through to ensure even crisping and browning.
  5. Add Parmesan Cheese: Remove the potatoes from the oven and immediately sprinkle a generous amount of grated Parmesan cheese over them. Return the baking sheet to the oven for an additional 3-5 minutes until the cheese melts and turns golden.
  6. Garnish and Serve: Once out of the oven, sprinkle freshly chopped parsley along with salt and pepper to taste. Serve hot and enjoy the delicious combination of crispy roasted potatoes with garlic butter and melted Parmesan.

Notes

  • Choose baby Yukon Gold or red potatoes for the best creamy texture inside and crisp edges outside.
  • Do not overcrowd the baking sheet to ensure potatoes crisp up instead of steaming.
  • Fresh garlic provides the best vibrant flavor; avoid pre-minced or powdered garlic when possible.
  • Flip potatoes halfway through roasting for uniformly crispy edges.
  • Add Parmesan cheese near the end of roasting to prevent burning and achieve a perfectly melted topping.
