Oven-Roasted Potatoes with Garlic and Butter

Preparation:

1. Preheat the oven:
   Preheat your oven to 200°C (top and bottom heat).

2. Prepare the potatoes:
   Wash the potatoes thoroughly and halve or quarter them depending on their size. You can leave them whole if they are very small.

3. Make the garlic butter mixture:
   In a small bowl, combine melted butter with olive oil, chopped garlic, salt, pepper, paprika powder, and herbs (thyme or rosemary).

4. Marinate the potatoes:
   Place the potatoes in a large bowl and pour the garlic butter mixture over them. Toss well so the potatoes are evenly coated.

5. Bake:
   Spread the potatoes in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake in the preheated oven for about 30–40 minutes until golden and crispy. Turn the potatoes halfway through baking to brown evenly.

6. Serve:
   Remove the potatoes from the oven and sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley. Optionally, add some coarse sea salt on top.

Tip: These oven potatoes go perfectly as a side dish for meat, fish, or simply as a snack with a dip like sour cream.
