Ingredients

• 2 pounds red potatoes
• 6 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 4 cloves garlic cloves
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoons paprika
• 2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly grease a large baking sheet or line it with parchment paper for easy cleanup.

Step 2

Wash the red potatoes thoroughly and pat them dry. Cut the potatoes into evenly sized cubes, about 1-inch pieces.

Step 3

In a small saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Mince the garlic cloves and add them to the butter, stirring for 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Remove the saucepan from heat and let it cool slightly.

Step 4

In a large mixing bowl, combine the cubed potatoes, melted garlic butter, olive oil, salt, black pepper, and paprika. Toss everything together until the potatoes are evenly coated.

Step 5

Spread the potatoes out in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are not overcrowded to allow even roasting.

Step 6

Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, flipping the potatoes halfway through cooking, until they are golden brown and fork-tender.

Step 7

While the potatoes are baking, finely chop the fresh parsley. If desired, grate the Parmesan cheese for garnish.

Step 8

Once the potatoes are done, remove them from the oven. Transfer the potatoes to a serving dish and sprinkle with fresh parsley and Parmesan cheese, if using.

Step 9

Serve immediately as a side dish and enjoy your flavorful buttery baked red potatoes!
