Ingredients

• 3 pounds (1.5 kg) baby red potatoes, washed and quartered
• 1/4 cup olive oil
• 6 garlic cloves, finely chopped or minced
• Salt and black pepper to taste
• 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
• 3/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter
• Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Directions

1. Preheat your oven to 400ºF (200°C) and set the rack to the bottom position.
2. Wash and quarter the potatoes.
3. Grease a large baking sheet with non-stick spray or olive oil.
4. Parboil the potatoes in boiling water for 5-8 minutes to soften them slightly for better crisping.
5. In a large bowl, mix olive oil, garlic, salt, pepper, Italian seasoning, and Parmesan. If needed, add a bit more olive oil to the mix.
6. Toss the parboiled potatoes in the garlic Parmesan mixture, making sure they are evenly coated.
7. Arrange the potatoes on the prepared baking sheet, cut side down, in a single layer.
8. Roast the potatoes for 25 minutes, flipping them halfway through (around 15 minutes), until they are golden and crisp.
9. While the potatoes are roasting, melt the butter and stir in the chopped parsley.
10. Once the potatoes are done, remove them from the oven and drizzle with the melted butter mixture. Top with bacon bits if using and toss to coat.
11. Serve immediately and enjoy these irresistible roasted garlic butter Parmesan potatoes!
