## Ingredients

- 0.5 cup butter
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 clove large clove garlic, or 2 medium - minced
- 2 teaspoons smoked paprika
- Kosher salt
- pepper
- 1.5 pounds mini gold potatoes
- 1 tablespoon finely chopped chives
- 3 tablespoons shredded Manchego cheese
- mayo for serving

## Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees
2. Melt butter and oil in a small saucepan.
3. Put garlic in the saucepan.
4. When garlic is fragrant, add paprika, salt & pepper - mix well, and set aside.
5. Put potatoes between 2 chopsticks.
6. Using a sharp knife, make slits across the potato (the short way) down to the sticks - which will prevent you from cutting all the way through the potatoes.
7. Repeat with all potatoes and place on parchment lined baking sheet, or a rack on a baking sheet.
8. Brush potatoes with the butter mixture.
9. Bake about 30 minutes total, brushing with extra butter every 10 minutes or so until potatoes are tender.
10. If you want, turn on your broiler to give them a little more color and to crisp.
11. Remove from oven, season lightly with a little more salt & pepper.
12. Serve topped with chives and cheese.
