Wash and scrub the baby potatoes to remove any dirt. Leave the skins on for added texture and flavor.
Cut the larger baby potatoes in half to ensure even cooking. Smaller ones can be left whole.
In a large skillet or heavy-bottomed frying pan, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.
Add the unsalted butter to the pan and let it melt completely, mixing it with the olive oil to prevent burning.
Place the potatoes cut-side down (if halved) into the skillet. Make sure they are in a single layer for even browning.
Reduce the heat to medium, cover the skillet with a lid, and let the potatoes cook for about 15 minutes. Stir occasionally to avoid sticking.
While the potatoes are cooking, mince the garlic cloves and chop the fresh parsley.
After 15 minutes, remove the lid and sprinkle the minced garlic, salt, and ground black pepper over the potatoes. Stir to coat them evenly.
Increase the heat to medium-high again and cook for an additional 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are golden brown and crispy on the outside.
Remove the skillet from the heat and sprinkle the chopped fresh parsley on top for a burst of freshness.
Serve the brown potatoes warm as a side dish for roasted meats, grilled vegetables, or any main meal.
