Ingredients
  

4 medium-sized potatoes (Russet or Yukon Gold work best)

4 tablespoons unsalted butter

4 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon fresh rosemary, chopped (or ½ teaspoon dried)

1 teaspoon fresh thyme, chopped (or ½ teaspoon dried)

½ teaspoon smoked paprika

Salt and pepper to taste

2 tablespoons olive oil

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Prep the Potatoes: Start by peeling the potatoes and cutting them into 1-inch cubes. Rinse them under cold water to remove excess starch, then pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel. This step ensures a crispier finish.

    Boil the Potatoes: In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Add the potato cubes and boil for about 5-7 minutes, just until slightly tender but not fully cooked. Drain and let the potatoes cool for a few minutes.

      Preheat the Oven: While the potatoes are cooling, preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup and to prevent sticking.

        Prepare the Garlic Butter Mixture: In a small saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Add the minced garlic, rosemary, thyme, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Cook for about 2-3 minutes until the garlic is fragrant and slightly golden, being careful not to burn it. Remove from heat.

          Toss the Potatoes: In a large mixing bowl, combine the boiled potato cubes with olive oil, and pour over the garlic butter mixture. Toss gently until all the cubes are well-coated in the seasoning.

            Bake the Potatoes: Spread the coated potato cubes evenly on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer. Ensure there’s some space between each cube for optimal crispiness. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through until they are golden brown and crispy on all sides.

              Garnish and Serve: Once baked, remove the potatoes from the oven and let them cool slightly. Transfer them to a serving dish, sprinkle with fresh parsley, and adjust seasoning if necessary.

                Serve these Crispy Garlic Butter Potato Cubes as a side dish or a delicious snack that will surely impress your guests!
