Ingredients
  

1.5 lbs baby potatoes (Yukon Gold or red potatoes work well)

1/2 cup unsalted butter (1 stick)

4-5 cloves garlic, minced

2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped

1 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

1 teaspoon paprika (optional for a smoky flavor)

Grated Parmesan cheese (optional for topping)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C).

    Prepare Potatoes: Wash and scrub the baby potatoes thoroughly under cold water. Pat them dry with a towel, then cut each potato in half or quarters, depending on their size.

      Melt Butter: In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the unsalted butter. Once melted, add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn the garlic.

        Combine Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, toss the halved potatoes with the garlic butter mixture. Add salt, black pepper, and paprika if using. Ensure the potatoes are evenly coated.

          Bake Potatoes: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil for easy cleanup. Spread the coated potatoes in a single layer on the baking sheet, cut side down for optimal crispness.

            Roasting Time: Bake the potatoes in the preheated oven for about 30-35 minutes, or until they are golden brown and fork-tender. Halfway through the baking time, you can flip the potatoes to ensure even crisping.

              Garnish: Once done, take the baking sheet out of the oven. Sprinkle the chopped parsley over the hot potatoes and, if desired, add grated Parmesan on top for extra flavor.

                Serve: Let the potatoes cool for a few minutes, then serve warm. Enjoy your delicious baked garlic butter potatoes as a side dish to your favorite main courses!
