Ingredients
  

4 medium-sized russet potatoes, peeled and cubed

4 tablespoons unsalted butter

4 cloves garlic, minced

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 teaspoon paprika

1 teaspoon dried thyme or rosemary

Salt and pepper, to taste

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Optional: Grated Parmesan cheese (for serving)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 425°F (220°C). This high heat will help the potatoes become crispy.

    Prepare the Potatoes: Rinse the cubed potatoes under cold water to remove excess starch and pat them dry with a kitchen towel. This step is crucial for achieving crispiness.

      Create the Garlic Butter Mixture: In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the butter along with the olive oil. Add the minced garlic, paprika, thyme (or rosemary), salt, and pepper. Stir for about 2-3 minutes until the garlic becomes fragrant but doesn't brown. Remove from heat.

        Toss the Potatoes: In a large mixing bowl, combine the potato cubes with the garlic butter mixture. Ensure all the potatoes are evenly coated.

          Arrange on Baking Sheet: Spread the garlic butter potatoes evenly on a large baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Make sure they are in a single layer to allow for even roasting.

            Roast: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for 25-30 minutes, turning the potatoes halfway through. They should be golden brown and crispy when done.

              Garnish and Serve: Once out of the oven, sprinkle freshly chopped parsley over the crispy garlic butter potato cubes. If desired, add grated Parmesan cheese for an extra layer of flavor.

                Enjoy: Serve hot as a side dish or snack!
