- 5 tablespoons unsalted butter, , melted
- 2 cloves garlic,, minced
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon pepper
- ½ cup freshly grated parmesan cheese, , optional
Instructions

Heat until butter is melted, about 45 seconds. Pour the mixture over the potatoes and gently toss to combine.
- Spread the potatoes evenly on the baking sheet, cut sides up. Pour any remaining butter mixture over the tops. Bake for 20 minutes, use a spatula to toss and mix, then place cut side back up. Bake for 20-25 minutes longer, or until potatoes are fork tender.
