Ofenkartoffeln mit Knoblauchbutter

Zutaten

• 2 pounds baby potatoes, halved
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
• 6 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1/2 teaspoon paprika
• 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
• Lemon wedges for serving

Zubereitung

1. 1

   Preheat Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 425°F (220°C). This high temperature is crucial for achieving crispy potatoes.

2. 2

   Prepare Potatoes: Wash the baby potatoes thoroughly and halve them. This allows for even cooking and maximizes surface area for roasting.

3. 3

   Mix Garlic Butter: In a mixing bowl, combine melted butter, minced garlic, chopped parsley, salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika. Stir well until all ingredients are mixed.

4. 4

   Coat Potatoes: Add the halved potatoes to the bowl with the garlic butter mixture. Toss them until each piece is evenly coated with the mixture.

5. 5

   Arrange on Baking Sheet: Spread the coated potatoes in a single layer on a baking sheet. Ensure they are not overcrowded to allow for proper roasting.

6. 6

   Roast Potatoes: Roast the potatoes in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes. Halfway through, give them a good shake to promote even browning.

7. 7

   Final Touch: Once golden and crispy, remove the potatoes from the oven. Optionally, sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese for an extra layer of flavor.

8. 8

   Garnish and Serve: Garnish with additional chopped parsley and serve hot with lemon wedges on the side for a refreshing contrast.
