US Customary - Metric

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F/204 degrees C. Arrange the racks so that the dutch oven can fit on the center rack.
Scrub the potatoes clean under running water and pat dry. Use a knife to trim off any brown spots.
Melt the butter in the dutch oven over medium heat.
Remove from heat. Add the potatoes along with the garlic powder, onion powder, parsley, rosemary, and salt. Stir until coated.
Cover the dutch oven and place it on the center rack of the preheated oven. Bake for 35 to 45 minutes, shaking the pot (using oven mitts) once halfway through the cooking time. The potatoes should be fork-tender and lightly browned.
Remove from the oven, serve, and enjoy!

Notes

If you don't have a dutch oven, use a heavy-bottomed, oven-safe pot with an oven-safe lid or tightly covered with foil.
Serve the potatoes as is or with additional pats of butter, more fresh herbs, flaky salt, sour cream, shredded cheese, or even bacon bits.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for 3 to 5 days. Reheat on a baking sheet in the oven at 350 degrees F/177 degrees C for 5 to 10 minutes or in the microwave in 30-second intervals on high. The potatoes may dry out a little during reheating, so add some more melted butter or oil if desired.
If you want to reheat the entire batch of potatoes at a later time (if you made them in advance for the holidays, for example), keep them in the dutch oven with the lid. Reheat in the oven at 350 degrees F/177 degrees C for 10 to 15 minutes.
