Ingredients
  

2 lbs baby potatoes (either red or yellow)

1/2 cup unsalted butter (1 stick)

6 cloves garlic, minced

2 tablespoons fresh rosemary, finely chopped (or 1 tablespoon dried)

1 tablespoon fresh thyme, chopped (or 1 teaspoon dried)

1 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional for a spicy kick)

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C), ensuring it reaches the right temperature for roasting.

    Prepare the Potatoes: Rinse the baby potatoes under cold water to remove any residual dirt. Use a clean kitchen towel to thoroughly dry them – this helps achieve a crispy exterior while roasting.

      Melt the Butter: In a small saucepan, gently melt the unsalted butter over low heat. Once the butter has melted, take it off the heat and stir in the minced garlic, chopped rosemary, chopped thyme, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes (if desired) until the mixture is well combined and fragrant.

        Coat the Potatoes: In a large mixing bowl, place the cleaned baby potatoes. Pour the flavorful garlic butter mixture over them, then toss the potatoes vigorously to ensure they are evenly coated in the aromatic mixture.

          Arrange on Baking Sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to facilitate easy cleanup. Spread the coated potatoes out in a single layer on the baking sheet, making sure there's enough space between them for even cooking and browning.

            Roast the Potatoes: Transfer the baking sheet to your preheated oven and roast the potatoes for approximately 30-35 minutes. They should become golden brown and fork-tender. To achieve an even golden color, give them a toss halfway through the roasting time.

              Garnish and Serve: Once they are roasted to perfection, remove the potatoes from the oven. Finish by sprinkling freshly chopped parsley over the top to enhance both the color and flavor of the dish. Serve the potatoes warm as a delightful side dish alongside your favorite main courses.
