Ingredients

• 1.5 pounds Baby potatoes
• 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 3 whole Garlic cloves, minced
• 1 tablespoon Fresh rosemary, finely chopped
• 1.5 tablespoons Fresh parsley, finely chopped
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese, grated (optional)
• 2 large sheets Aluminum foil

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

Wash and dry the baby potatoes. Cut larger potatoes in half to ensure even cooking or leave smaller ones whole.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, combine the melted butter, olive oil, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, chopped parsley, salt, and black pepper. Stir well.

Step 4

Add the potatoes to the bowl and toss until they are evenly coated with the butter and herb mixture.

Step 5

Tear two large sheets of aluminum foil. Place an equal amount of potatoes in the center of each sheet.

Step 6

Fold the foil over the potatoes to create a sealed packet, ensuring the edges are tightly crimped to prevent steam from escaping.

Step 7

Place the foil packets on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 35–40 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender.

Step 8

Carefully remove the foil packets from the oven and allow them to cool slightly before opening. Be cautious of hot steam when opening the packets.

Step 9

Transfer the potatoes to a serving dish and sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese, if desired.

Step 10

Serve immediately as a side dish to your favorite main course. Enjoy!
