How to Make the Recipe

Let’s dive into the step-by-step process for making these mouthwatering potatoes. Don’t worry—it’s simpler than you think!

1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. This step ensures your potatoes roast evenly and cleanup is a breeze.
2. Wash and halve the baby potatoes. Baby potatoes are perfect for this recipe because they cook quickly and have a naturally buttery flavor. Make sure to pat them dry after washing to help them roast crispy.
3. In a large bowl, mix the melted butter with minced garlic until well combined. The garlic butter mixture is the heart of this recipe, giving the potatoes their rich, aromatic flavor.
4. Toss the halved potatoes in the garlic butter until they’re evenly coated. Don’t be shy—let every potato get a good bath in that golden goodness!
5. Sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese over the potatoes and give them a gentle toss to distribute the cheese evenly. Parmesan adds a salty, nutty flavor that complements the garlic butter perfectly.
6. Spread the potatoes on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer. Roast in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy. You’ll know they’re done when they’re caramelized on the outside and tender on the inside.

Pro Tips for Making the Recipe

Here are a few tips to ensure your Roasted Garlic Butter Parmesan Potatoes turn out absolutely divine:

• Use high-quality ingredients. Fresh garlic and real Parmesan cheese make a big difference in flavor.
• Don’t overcrowd the baking sheet. Give the potatoes enough space to roast evenly. If needed, use two baking sheets.
• Toss halfway through roasting. This ensures even browning and crispiness.
• Add a sprinkle of Parmesan after roasting. It’s a small touch that adds extra flavor and freshness.

How to Serve

These potatoes are incredibly versatile and can be served alongside a variety of dishes. Here are a few ideas:

• Pair them with my Garlic Butter Steak Bites and Potatoes for a hearty, indulgent meal.

Make Ahead and Storage

One of the best things about this recipe is its convenience. Here’s how you can make it ahead or store leftovers:

• Make ahead: Wash, halve, and toss the potatoes in the garlic butter up to a day in advance. Store them in an airtight container in the fridge until ready to roast.
• Storage: Leftover potatoes can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat them in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10-15 minutes to restore crispiness.
