Ingredients

The following ingredients have 6 Servings
  • 2 pounds fingerling potatoes (cleaned and cut in half lengthwise)
  • 1 tablespoon oil (optional for extra-crispness)
  • 1 teaspoon dried garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground paprika
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • black pepper to taste
  • coarse sea salt (cracked black pepper and chopped fresh parsley, to serve (optional))
  • 2 tablespoons butter

Instruction

  • Prep: Preheat the oven to 420°F (220°C). Place a dark-colored baking sheet in the oven to heat up.
  • Season the potatoes: Carefully toss the cut potatoes in a large bowl with oil (if using), garlic powder, paprika, Italian seasoning, salt and black pepper. Make sure all potatoes are evenly coated.
  • Add potatoes to baking sheet: Carefully remove the preheated baking sheet from the oven using oven gloves. Melt butter on pan, then carefully toss potatoes on the pan in butter. Spread out potatoes in a single layer with their cut side DOWN.
  • Bake: Bake the potatoes for around 25-30 minutes, or until tender on the inside and crispy on the outside. You can finish under the broiler for 2-3 minutes to really crisp up the top as well.
  • Garnish: Sprinkle the hot potatoes with black pepper, sea salt flaked and fresh parsley, if you like. Serve immediately.
