Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 3 cloves Garlic
- 1 teaspoon Fresh rosemary
- 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese (grated)
- 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Wash and scrub the Yukon Gold potatoes thoroughly, then cut them into 1-inch cubes.
Place the potatoes in a large pot and cover them with cold water. Add a pinch of salt and bring the water to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat and simmer for 5-7 minutes until the potatoes are just slightly tender but still hold their shape.
While the potatoes are simmering, mince the garlic and finely chop the fresh rosemary and thyme.
Drain the potatoes and let them sit in the colander for 2-3 minutes to allow excess moisture to evaporate.
In a large oven-safe skillet or roasting pan, heat the olive oil and 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat until melted. Add the minced garlic, rosemary, and thyme, stirring for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Add the potatoes to the skillet and toss them gently to coat them in the garlic herb butter mixture. Season with salt and black pepper.
Spread the potatoes out in a single layer in the skillet or roasting pan. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and roast for 25-30 minutes, flipping the potatoes halfway through, until they are golden and crispy.
Remove the skillet from the oven and sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese over the hot potatoes. Toss gently to coat.
Melt the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter and drizzle it over the potatoes.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving. Serve immediately for best taste and texture.
