Ingredients:
- 2 pounds small red potatoes, halved or quartered if large
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried parsley
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions:
-
Prep the Potatoes: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Wash and cut the potatoes into even-sized pieces. This ensures even cooking.
-
Whisk the Sauce: In a large bowl, whisk together the melted butter, olive oil, minced garlic, parsley, thyme, salt, and pepper.
-
Combine and Toss: Add the potatoes to the bowl and toss gently until they are evenly coated with the buttery garlic mixture.
-
Bake to Perfection: Spread the potatoes in a single layer on a large baking sheet. Bake for 30-40 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and slightly browned, flipping halfway through for even cooking.
-
Add Parmesan (Optional): During the last 5 minutes of baking, sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the potatoes for an extra cheesy flavor.
-
Garnish and Serve: Remove the potatoes from the oven and garnish with fresh chopped parsley. Serve immediately and enjoy the delicious aroma and incredible taste!
Cooking Tips for the Best Results:
- Use small potatoes: Smaller potatoes cook more evenly and retain their shape better.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: Ensure the potatoes are in a single layer on the baking sheet to promote even browning.
- Adjust seasoning: Feel free to adjust the herbs and spices to your liking. A dash of paprika or onion powder can add extra depth of flavor.
- Make it ahead: You can prepare the potatoes up to the point of baking ahead of time and store them in the refrigerator. Just add a few extra minutes to the baking time when you're ready to cook them.
Variations:
- Roasted Garlic: For an even more intense garlic flavor, use roasted garlic instead of raw minced garlic.
- Spicy Potatoes: Add a pinch of red pepper flakes for a little kick.
- Herb Variations: Experiment with different herbs like rosemary, oregano, or chives.
- Cheese Variations: Try different cheeses such as cheddar, Gruyere, or Asiago.
