Italian Roasted Potatoes Recipe

Ingredients:

• 1 lb baby potatoes
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon bottled Italian seasoning
• 1/4 teaspoon salt, or to taste
• 2 dashes paprika
• 1/3 cup shredded Parmesan cheese
• 1 teaspoon chopped parsley leaves
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into small cubes

Method:

1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Clean and rinse the baby potatoes, then drain and cut them into halves.
2. Heat an oven-safe skillet (preferably cast-iron) and add the olive oil. Add the potatoes and cook until the surface turns crispy. Flip the potatoes and cook the skin side until nicely browned. Push the potatoes to one side and sauté the garlic. Then add the Italian seasoning, salt, and paprika, stirring to combine well. Turn off the heat and sprinkle the cheese and parsley on top of the potatoes.
3. Transfer the skillet into the preheated oven and roast for 15 minutes. Add the butter cubes on top of the potatoes, then serve immediately.

Cook’s Note:

• If using larger potatoes, roast for 20 minutes or until cooked. You can also roast the potatoes directly in the oven. Combine the olive oil, garlic, potatoes, Italian seasoning, salt, and paprika with the potatoes, and follow the remaining steps. Roast for 20 minutes or until cooked to your liking. Adjust the cooking time based on the size of the potatoes for desired doneness.
