Browned Butter Roasted Potatoes with Parmesan

Directions:

1. Preheat and Prep: Get your oven ready by preheating it to 400ºF (200°C). Grease a large baking sheet with non-stick spray or olive oil. Set it aside for later.
2. Mix the Seasonings: In a bowl, mix together 1/4 cup of olive oil, chopped garlic, salt, dried parsley, thyme, oregano, black pepper, and Parmesan cheese. Make sure everything’s well combined. If it seems a bit dry, add a splash more olive oil to coat everything evenly.
3. Coat the Potatoes: Toss your quartered potatoes in the seasoning mixture until they’re all coated nicely.
4. Roast the Potatoes: Spread out your seasoned potatoes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Make sure they’re spread out evenly so they cook evenly. Pop them in the oven and let them roast for about 45-50 minutes. Every 15 minutes or so, give them a turn with tongs or a spatula to make sure they’re browning evenly. If you like them extra crispy, you can broil them for a few minutes at the end.
5. Prepare the Browned Butter: While your potatoes are roasting away, it’s time to make the magic happen with the browned butter. In a small pot or skillet over medium heat, melt your unsalted butter. Keep stirring and swirling the pan now and then to make sure it cooks evenly and doesn’t splatter.
6. Browned Butter Magic: Watch as the butter starts to foam and change color from yellow to tan to a beautiful golden brown. Once you catch a whiff of that nutty aroma, take the pan off the heat. Give it a gentle stir with a wooden spoon to lift any browned bits from the bottom, then drizzle that glorious browned butter all over your roasted potatoes.
7. Serve and Enjoy: Sprinkle some extra salt and pepper on top if you like, and don’t forget to add a sprinkle of fresh parsley for a pop of color and flavor. Then, dive in and enjoy those delicious, crispy, buttery potatoes!
