Ingredients

• 1 kg (2.2 lbs) baby potatoes or Yukon Gold potatoes
• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon salt (or to taste)
• ½ teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme or rosemary
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

1. Preheat the Oven:
   Preheat oven to 200°C (400°F). Line a baking tray with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
2. Prepare the Potatoes:
   Wash and scrub potatoes thoroughly. If large, cut into halves or quarters. Pat completely dry.
3. Season the Potatoes:
   In a bowl, mix melted butter, olive oil, garlic, salt, pepper, paprika, and herbs. Add potatoes and toss to coat evenly.
4. Arrange for Roasting:
   Spread potatoes in a single layer on baking tray. Avoid overcrowding for maximum crispiness.
5. Bake:
   Roast 35–45 minutes, turning halfway through, until golden brown and crispy outside and fork-tender inside.
6. Garnish and Serve:
   Sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley and serve hot.

Tips for Extra Crispiness

• Parboil potatoes for 8–10 minutes before roasting for extra crisp texture.
• Use a metal baking tray instead of glass for better browning.
• Ensure potatoes are completely dry before seasoning.
