Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1½ –2 lbs yellow potatoes halved or quartered
  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • 3 tbsp butter melted
  • 1 tsp kosher salt
  • ½ tsp black pepper
  • 1 –1½ tsp dried parsley
  • Optional: freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  • Optional: flaky sea salt for finishing

Method
 

  1. Parboil the potatoes
  2. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add potatoes and cook for 8–10 minutes, until just fork-tender. Drain well and allow to steam dry for 1–2 minutes.
  3. Preheat the oven
  4. Preheat oven to 425°F. Lightly grease a baking sheet or line with parchment paper.
  5. Season the potatoes
  6. In a large bowl, toss potatoes with olive oil, melted butter, salt, pepper, and dried parsley until evenly coated.
  7. Roast
  8. Arrange potatoes on the baking sheet cut-side down, spacing them apart. Roast for 25–30 minutes, flipping once halfway through, until deeply golden and crispy.
  9. Finish & serve
  10. Remove from oven and sprinkle with flaky sea salt if desired.
  11. For Parmesan, add during the last 5 minutes of roasting.

Notes

For that restaurant finish, drizzle with 1 extra tablespoon melted butter right before serving — it adds shine and rich flavor.
