Flavorful Garlic Herb Potatoes
Crispy on the outside, fluffy inside, and packed with garlic, herbs, butter, and paprika. These are an easy side dish that goes with almost anything.
Ingredients
700 g (1½ lb) baby potatoes, halved
2 tbsp olive oil
2 tbsp melted butter
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 tsp paprika
½ tsp smoked paprika, optional
1 tsp dried Italian herbs
½ tsp salt
½ tsp black pepper
¼ tsp chili flakes, optional
2 tbsp grated Parmesan
1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
Prepare the potatoes: Preheat oven to 220°C (425°F). Wash and halve the potatoes. Pat them dry.
Season: Toss potatoes with olive oil, melted butter, garlic, paprika, herbs, salt, pepper, and chili flakes.
Roast: Spread the potatoes cut-side down on a lined baking sheet in a single layer. Roast for 30–40 minutes, turning once, until golden and crispy.
Add Parmesan: Sprinkle Parmesan over the hot potatoes and return them to the oven for 3–5 minutes.
Finish: Garnish with fresh parsley and serve immediately.
Extra Flavor
For even more flavor, toss the finished potatoes with a little lemon juice and fresh grated Parmesan just before serving. They’re especially good alongside grilled chicken, steak, or roasted vegetables.
