Ingredients
  

Potato Base
  • 1.5 lbs baby potatoes halved (Yukon Gold or Red)
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 3 tbsp unsalted butter melted
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tsp salt to taste
  • 0.5 tsp black pepper freshly cracked
Toppings
  • 0.33 cup parmesan cheese freshly grated
  • 2 tbsp fresh parsley chopped

Equipment

  • Large mixing bowl
  • Baking sheet
  • Sharp knife
  • Spatula

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Wash and dry the potatoes thoroughly.
  2. Slice the baby potatoes in half lengthwise. Place them in a large mixing bowl.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together the melted butter, olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and pepper.
  4. Pour the butter mixture over the potatoes and toss well until evenly coated.
  5. Arrange the potatoes cut-side down on a baking sheet. Do not overcrowd.
  6. Roast for 25-30 minutes until the cut sides are golden brown and crispy.
  7. Remove from oven, flip the potatoes, and sprinkle with parmesan cheese.
  8. Return to oven for 5-10 minutes until cheese is melted and crispy.
  9. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve hot.

Notes

Ensure the potatoes are completely dry before tossing in oil to ensure maximum crispiness. Serve immediately for best texture.
