Baked Garlic Butter Potatoes

Here’s a simple and delicious recipe for Baked Garlic Butter Potatoes:

Ingredients:

• 6-8 medium-sized potatoes (Yukon Gold or Russet)
• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• Grated Parmesan cheese (optional)

Instructions:

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Prepare Potatoes:
   • Wash the potatoes thoroughly and pat them dry. You can peel them if you prefer, but leaving the skin on adds texture.
   • Cut the potatoes into wedges or thick slices.
3. Make Garlic Butter:
   • In a small bowl, combine the melted butter, minced garlic, thyme, rosemary, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
4. Coat Potatoes:
   • Place the potato wedges in a large mixing bowl. Drizzle with olive oil and toss to coat.
   • Pour the garlic butter mixture over the potatoes, tossing again to ensure even coverage.
5. Bake:
   • Arrange the potatoes in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
   • Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the potatoes are golden brown and crispy on the edges. Flip the potatoes halfway through to ensure even baking.
6. Garnish and Serve:
   • Once baked, remove the potatoes from the oven and sprinkle with chopped parsley and grated Parmesan cheese if desired.
   • Serve hot as a side dish or a snack.
