Step 1

Preheat oven to 400°. Set a rack to the middle position.

Step 2

Place the butter on a 12 x 17" sheet pan and place the pan in the oven.

Step 3

Allow the butter to melt on the pan for about 5 minutes until foamy.

Step 4

Remove the pan from the oven and season the butter in the pan with all the spices, ending with a generous sprinkle of salt and pepper.

Step 5

Place the potatoes cut side down on top of the seasoned melted butter leaving space between the potatoes (you don't want to crowd them so they crisp up). Use a pastry brush to brush the tops of the potatoes with some of the butter from the pan and season them as well.

Step 6

Roast the potatoes for 30-35 minutes until crispy and a fork pokes into the top easily signifying they are done.

Step 7

As an alternative, serve with your favorite dip like this homemade blue cheese or ranch dressing.
