Step 1: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). A hot oven is key to achieving the perfect crispy texture on your potatoes.
Step 2: Wash and scrub the golden potatoes thoroughly under running water. There’s no need to peel them; cut them into uniform cubes, about 1 to 1.5 inches in size.
Step 3: In a large mixing bowl, combine the melted unsalted butter, olive oil, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Whisk together until well blended.
Step 4: Add the cubed potatoes to the mixing bowl and toss them in the buttery mixture until they are evenly coated.
Step 5: Spread the coated potatoes in a single layer on a large baking sheet.
Step 6: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast the potatoes for about 30-35 minutes, tossing them halfway through.
Step 7: Once the potatoes are crispy and golden brown, remove them from the oven. Sprinkle with chopped parsley for a fresh touch before serving.
