Ingredients
• 1.5 lbs baby Yukon Gold or red potatoes, halved
• 2 tbsp olive oil • 3 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 tsp salt
• ½ tsp black pepper
• ½ tsp paprika
• 1 tsp fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
• Sour cream or garlic aioli, for serving (optional)
Instructions
1. **Preheat Oven:** Set oven to 400°F (200°C). Grease a baking sheet or cast-iron skillet lightly with olive oil.
2. **Prepare Garlic Butter Coating:** In a bowl, combine melted butter, garlic, Parmesan, salt, pepper, and paprika.
3. **Prep Potatoes:** Pat potatoes dry with paper towels. Toss them first in olive oil, then in the Parmesan-garlic mixture to coat.
