🥔 Garlic Butter Roasted Fingerling Potatoes

🧂 Ingredients:

• 1 ½ lbs fingerling potatoes, halved lengthwise

• 3 tbsp unsalted butter, melted

• 1 tbsp olive oil (helps crisp the edges)

• 3 cloves garlic, minced

• 1 tsp fresh thyme leaves (or ½ tsp dried)

• 1 tsp fresh rosemary, chopped (optional but great for aroma)

• Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

• 1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

👩‍🍳 Instructions:

1. Preheat Oven:

   • 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil for easy cleanup.

2. Prepare the Potatoes:

   • Slice fingerling potatoes lengthwise (this gives that perfect crispy cut side).

   • In a large bowl, toss them with melted butter, olive oil, garlic, herbs, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.

3. Roast:

   • Arrange potatoes cut side down in a single layer on the baking sheet.

   • Roast for 25–30 minutes, or until golden and crisp on the outside and tender inside.

   • Flip halfway through if you like them evenly browned all over.

4. Finish with Flavor:

   • Once roasted, toss with a touch of extra melted butter and sprinkle with fresh parsley.

5. Serve:

   • Serve hot as a side dish with steak, chicken, salmon, or even breakfast eggs.

🌟 Chef’s Tips:

• Crispier potatoes: Preheat your baking sheet in the oven for 5 minutes before adding potatoes — that sizzle guarantees a golden crust.

• Garlic caution: If you notice garlic browning too quickly, toss it in halfway through roasting.

• Add zest: A sprinkle of lemon zest at the end brightens the whole dish beautifully.
