Ingredients
  

2 pounds baby potatoes (red or yellow)

1/2 cup unsalted butter

6 cloves garlic, minced

1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped (or 1 teaspoon dried)

1 tablespoon fresh thyme, chopped (or 1 teaspoon dried)

1 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Optional: Grated Parmesan cheese for serving

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).

    Prepare the Potatoes: Wash the baby potatoes thoroughly and cut them in half if they are larger than a golf ball. If they are small, leave them whole for a beautiful presentation.

      Make the Garlic Butter: In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 2-3 minutes until the garlic is fragrant but not browned. Remove from heat and stir in the fresh rosemary, thyme, salt, and black pepper.

        Toss Potatoes: In a large mixing bowl, add the halved potatoes. Pour the warm garlic butter mixture over the potatoes and toss to coat evenly.

          Arrange on Baking Sheet: Spread the coated potatoes in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper (to prevent sticking). Make sure the cut sides are facing down for extra crispiness.

            Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for about 25-30 minutes, or until the potatoes are golden brown and crispy. You can flip them halfway through for even browning.

              Garnish and Serve: Once baked, remove the potatoes from the oven and transfer them to a serving dish. Sprinkle freshly chopped parsley on top. If desired, add a sprinkle of grated Parmesan cheese for an extra savory touch.

                Enjoy: Serve warm as a side dish to your favorite main course, or enjoy them as a delicious snack on their own!
