Description
Tender, buttery potatoes roasted to golden perfection that simply melt in your mouth with every bite.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 pounds baby potatoes, halved
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- In a large bowl, toss the halved baby potatoes with melted butter, minced garlic, dried thyme, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
- Spread the potatoes in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Roast for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until potatoes are golden brown and tender when pierced with a fork.
- Remove from oven and sprinkle with fresh parsley before serving, if desired.
Notes
- Use baby potatoes for best texture; regular potatoes can be cut into similar-sized pieces.
- For extra crispiness, increase the oven temperature to 425°F (220°C).
- These potatoes pair well with grilled meats or as a side for any dinner.
