Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 pounds baby potatoes
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary, chopped
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoons ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Wash the baby potatoes thoroughly and pat them dry. Slice them in half to ensure even cooking.
Heat a large skillet (preferably cast iron) over medium heat and add the olive oil and butter. Allow the butter to melt completely and combine with the oil.
Add the halved potatoes to the skillet in a single layer, cut side down. Cook without stirring for 5–7 minutes, or until the cut sides are golden and crisp.
Flip the potatoes using tongs or a spatula, and continue cooking for another 5 minutes on the other side.
Reduce the heat to medium-low and add the minced garlic, rosemary, and thyme to the skillet. Stir gently to coat the potatoes in the garlic and herbs.
Sprinkle the paprika, salt, and black pepper evenly over the potatoes. Stir well to ensure the seasoning coats all the potatoes.
Continue cooking for an additional 8–10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork.
Remove the skillet from heat and sprinkle the potatoes with fresh parsley, if desired, for garnish.
Serve immediately as a flavorful side dish and enjoy!
