Garlic butter
1/2 cup (Follow the garlic butter recipe below)
Kosher salt
1 - 1 1/2 teaspoons (To taste)

Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
2
Thoroughly wash the new potatoes and slice them into 3/8-inch thick rounds. Rinse the potato slices again to remove excess starch and then drain well.
3
In a large bowl, combine the drained potato slices with garlic butter, kosher salt, pepper, and 1/4 cup of the grated Parmesan cheese. Toss the mixture gently until the potatoes are evenly coated.
4
Spread the coated potato slices in a single layer on a baking sheet. Sprinkle the remaining 1/4 cup of Parmesan cheese evenly over the top.
5
Transfer baking sheet to the preheated oven and roast for 15-18 minutes, or until the potatoes are golden brown, tender on the inside, and have a slightly crisp exterior. Check for doneness by piercing a potato slice with a fork.
6
While the potatoes are roasting, prepare the garlic butter by melting the butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Once melted, add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, making sure not to let it brown.
7
Once the potatoes are done, remove them from the oven and drizzle with the prepared garlic butter before serving.
