Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 2 lb Fingerling Potatoes (cleaned and sliced in half lengthwise) Choose firm, small potatoes for best results.
  • 1 teaspoon Dried Rosemary Adds a fragrant, woodsy flavor.
  • 1 teaspoon Dried Thyme Brings a warm, earthy note to the potatoes.
  • 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder Complementary to the herbs.
  • ¾ teaspoon Smoked Paprika Adds a hint of smokiness.
  • ¾ teaspoon Salt (or to taste) Essential for enhancing flavors.
  • ½ teaspoon Freshly Ground Pepper For a bit of heat.
  • 1½ tablespoons Olive Oil Helps to crisp up the potatoes.
  • 2 tablespoons Unsalted Butter (at room temperature) Adds richness and flavor.
  • to taste optional Fresh Parsley for serving (chopped) Brightens up the dish.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F. During this time, pop in an empty baking sheet pan to heat up.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the sliced fingerling potatoes, dried rosemary, thyme, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, pepper, and olive oil. Toss them thoroughly until they are evenly coated.
  3. With hand gloves or a clean kitchen towel, carefully remove the heated sheet pan from the oven. Add the room temperature butter to the pan and let it melt.
  4. Transfer the coated fingerlings to the sheet pan and gently toss them in the melted butter.
  5. Spread the potatoes in a single layer with the cut side facing down.
Cooking
  1. Bake the potatoes for 25-30 minutes or until they are crisp and golden on the outside and tender within.
  2. For an extra crispy topping, remove the sheet from the oven, flip the potatoes cut side up, and broil for an additional 3-4 minutes.
Serving
  1. Dish out the potatoes, sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley, and serve immediately. For more flavor, consider adding grated parmesan cheese.

Notes

For a dairy-free version, use an additional tablespoon of olive oil instead of butter. You can also experiment with other seasonings, such as Italian seasoning or even chili flakes for an extra kick. Store leftover potatoes in an airtight container and consume within 3 days.
