Instructions
1. Prepare the Potatoes: Wash the potatoes thoroughly to remove any dirt. For uniform cooking, halve or quarter larger potatoes. Dry them with a kitchen towel.
2. Mince the Garlic: Use fresh garlic cloves for a more potent flavor.
3. Create the Garlic Butter Sauce: In a saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Sauté minced garlic until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Add dried herbs, salt, and pepper. Simmer for one minute.
4. Coat the Potatoes: Toss the potatoes in the garlic butter sauce in a mixing bowl until evenly coated.
5. Roast the Potatoes: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with foil or parchment paper. Spread the potatoes in a single layer for even roasting. Roast for 25-30 minutes, stirring halfway through.
6. Add the Parmesan: Sprinkle parmesan over the potatoes. Return to the oven for 5 minutes until the cheese melts and crisps.
7. Final Touches: Garnish with chopped parsley for a fresh, vibrant finish.
Notes
Ensure potatoes are spread in a single layer to prevent steaming. Customize with various herbs or spices to suit your taste preferences. Substitute butter with olive oil for a lighter version, though this alters the flavor profile.
