INGREDIENTS

4 medium-sized potatoes (Yukon Gold or Russet)
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped (or 1 teaspoon dried rosemary)
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Salt and black pepper to taste
Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)

PREPARATION STEPS

Prepare the Potatoes:
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).
Wash and dry the potatoes
Place each potato on a cutting board and use chopsticks or wooden spoons on either side to prevent cutting through entirely
Slice thin cuts across the potato (about 3mm apart), creating a fan-like effect.
Make the Garlic Butter:
In a small bowl, combine the melted butter, olive oil, minced garlic, and chopped rosemary. Season with a pinch of salt and black pepper.
Coat the Potatoes:
Place the potatoes on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Using a brush, generously coat each potato with the garlic butter mixture, making sure to get it into the cuts.
Roast:
Roast the potatoes in the preheated oven for 50–60 minutes, basting with the remaining garlic butter halfway through.
Add Parmesan:
In the last 10 minutes of roasting, sprinkle the grated Parmesan over the potatoes and return them to the oven until golden and crispy.
Garnish and Serve:
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley for an added pop of colour. Serve hot as a stunning side dish!
