Garlic Parmesan Roasted Potatoes

Ingredients

• 3 pounds red potatoes, halved
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 5 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1/2 teaspoon dried basil
• 1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
• 2 teaspoons unsalted butter
• 2 teaspoons chopped parsley leaves

Instructions

1. Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with non-stick spray or lightly greasing it.
2. Prepare the Potatoes: In a large bowl, combine the halved potatoes with olive oil, minced garlic, dried thyme, dried oregano, dried basil, and grated Parmesan cheese. Season with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Toss until the potatoes are evenly coated.
3. Arrange the Potatoes: Spread the coated potatoes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, placing them with the cut side down for optimal crispiness.
4. Roast the Potatoes: Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, turning them halfway through the baking time to ensure even browning and crispiness.
5. Finishing Touches: While the potatoes are roasting, melt the unsalted butter either on the stove or in the microwave (about 1 minute). Once the potatoes are done, remove them from the oven and drizzle with the melted butter. Sprinkle with chopped parsley leaves for garnish.
6. Serve: Transfer the roasted potatoes to a serving dish and enjoy hot.

These Garlic Parmesan Roasted Potatoes make a perfect side dish for any meal, combining the flavors of garlic, herbs, and Parmesan for a savory treat.
