Ingredients
  

2 lbs baby potatoes (red or yellow)

4 tablespoons olive oil

6 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon dried thyme

1 teaspoon dried rosemary

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

1 teaspoon salt (adjust to taste)

½ teaspoon black pepper (freshly ground)

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Optional: Grated Parmesan cheese for serving

Instructions
 

Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).

    Prep Potatoes: Wash the baby potatoes thoroughly and pat them dry. Cut each potato in half (or quarter if they are larger).

      Season the Potatoes: In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, minced garlic, dried thyme, dried rosemary, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Add the halved potatoes and toss well to coat evenly.

        Arrange on Baking Sheet: Spread the seasoned potatoes in a single layer on a large baking sheet lined with parchment paper for easy cleanup. Ensure they are cut side down for maximum crispiness.

          Roast the Potatoes: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for 25-30 minutes or until the potatoes are golden brown and crisp. Halfway through the cooking time, use a spatula to flip the potatoes for even browning.

            Final Touches: Once they are done, remove the potatoes from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes. If desired, sprinkle freshly chopped parsley and grated Parmesan cheese over the top for added flavor.

              Serve: Transfer the crispy garlic roasted potatoes to a serving platter and enjoy warm as a side dish or appetizer!
