🔥 Stovetop (Skillet) Method

1. Parboil potatoes (optional for faster cooking):
   Simmer in salted water for 7–8 minutes until just fork-tender. Drain well.

2. Sauté:
   Heat butter and olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
   Add garlic and sauté for 30 seconds (don’t let it burn).

3. Add potatoes:
   Place potatoes cut side down in the skillet. Cook 5–7 minutes undisturbed to get them crispy and golden.
   Flip and cook another 5–7 minutes.

4. Season:
   Sprinkle with salt, pepper, herbs, and Parmesan (if using). Toss to coat and cook 1–2 more minutes.

5. Garnish:
   Sprinkle with fresh parsley before serving.
