Serves: 2 to 4

1 pound russet potatoes, cut into 3/4- to 1-inch cubes (no need to peel)
1 tablespoon unsalted butter, melted
1 1/2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided
1 teaspoon kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
2 teaspoons ground parmesan
1 teaspoon dried parsley
3/4 teaspoon granulated garlic
1/2 teaspoon granulated onion

Preheat the oven to 425° F. Add the potatoes to a rimmed sheet pan. Add the butter, 1 teaspoon olive oil, salt, and pepper. Toss. Roast for about 25 minutes, until colorful and starting to crisp.
Meanwhile, combine the salt, black pepper, parmesan, parsley, garlic, and onion in a bowl.
After the potatoes have been in for 25 minutes, take them out of the oven. Drizzle the remaining ½ teaspoon olive oil, then sprinkle with the seasoning. Gently toss to coat the potatoes. Roast for another 6 or so minutes until they’re as crispy as you like—I like a sturdy crust and fluffy interior. Cool before serving atop salad, but eat day-of.
