Instructions

Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to prepare for roasting the potatoes evenly and effectively.
Prepare Potatoes: In a large bowl, combine the halved baby potatoes with melted butter, olive oil, minced garlic, salt, black pepper, paprika, and dried thyme or rosemary if using. Toss until the potatoes are evenly coated with all the seasonings.
Arrange Potatoes: Spread the coated potatoes in a single layer on a baking sheet, ensuring they have space to roast and crisp properly.
Roast Potatoes: Place the baking sheet in the oven and roast the potatoes for 35-40 minutes. Flip them halfway through cooking to ensure even browning. Roast until they are golden brown and crispy on the edges.
Garnish and Serve: Remove the potatoes from the oven and sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley for a fresh finish. Serve warm as a delicious side dish.

Notes

For extra crispiness, avoid overcrowding the baking sheet; use two sheets if needed.
You can substitute baby potatoes with fingerling or new potatoes for a similar texture.
Adjust garlic quantity according to your preference for a milder or stronger garlic flavor.
Paprika adds color and subtle smoky flavor but can be omitted if preferred.
This recipe can be easily doubled for larger gatherings.
