Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 2 lbs baby potatoes
- ½ cup grated parmesan cheese
Seasoning Ingredients:
- 4 cloves garlic
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
Finishing Ingredients:
- ½ cup unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley
Instructions
- Heat your oven precisely to 400°F, preparing a spacious baking sheet for crispy potato roasting.
- Melt ½ cup unsalted butter completely in a generously sized mixing bowl.
- Crush 4 garlic cloves and blend them thoroughly into the warm butter.
- Shake 1 tsp salt and ½ tsp black pepper into the butter mixture, stirring until combined.
- Slice 2 lbs baby potatoes exactly in half, ensuring uniform cooking potential.
- Tumble potato halves into the seasoned butter, rotating them until each piece glistens evenly with coating.
- Arrange potato halves across the baking sheet, positioning them with cut sides facing downward in a single uncrowded layer.
- Slide the baking sheet into the 400°F oven, roasting for 25-30 minutes until potatoes transform into golden, crisp-edged morsels.
- Retrieve the sheet and shower ½ cup grated parmesan cheese across the hot potatoes.
- Return potatoes to the oven for an additional 5 minutes, allowing cheese to melt and develop a delicate crust.
- Chop 1 tbsp fresh parsley and scatter it across the finished potatoes just before serving.
Notes
- Cutting potatoes evenly ensures uniform cooking and a perfectly crispy exterior.
- Letting the potatoes sit in the butter mixture for a few minutes helps them absorb more flavor before roasting.
- For a gluten-free version, double-check that your parmesan cheese is certified gluten-free.
- Swap butter with olive oil for a lighter option that still delivers incredible taste and crispy texture.
