Instructions

Preheat: Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) and prepare a large baking tray by setting it aside for later use.
Boil: Place the baby potatoes in a large pot of boiling water and simmer them for about 15 minutes, or until they start to become soft but still hold their shape. Drain the potatoes and set them aside.
Make Garlic Butter: In a small saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat until it starts to sizzle, about one minute. Add the minced garlic and stir continuously, cooking it gently for about 2 minutes until fragrant. Stir in the finely chopped parsley and salt, then remove the saucepan from the heat.
Roast: Arrange the parboiled potatoes evenly on the prepared baking tray. Pour the garlic butter mixture evenly over the potatoes, ensuring they are well coated. Place the tray in the preheated oven and roast the potatoes for 40 to 45 minutes, turning them halfway through cooking to ensure even browning and crispiness.
Serve: Once golden and tender, remove the roasted potatoes from the oven and serve them hot as a delightful side dish to your favorite meal.

Notes

For extra crispiness, you can increase the oven temperature to 400°F during the last 10 minutes of roasting.
Use fresh garlic for the best flavor; garlic powder will not provide the same depth.
Parsley can be substituted with fresh rosemary or thyme for a different herbaceous note.
If you prefer, use red potatoes or Yukon gold potatoes as alternatives to baby potatoes.
Make sure potatoes are cut into even sizes to ensure uniform cooking during boiling and roasting.
