(lemon) butter potatoes

I found this recipe on a bag of small potatoes and decided to try it out.  I don't remember what the potatoes were called but they were like miniature (about 1") yukon gold potatoes - really yellow and buttery with super thin skins (similar to fingerling potatoes).  Anyway, it's my new go-to side dish!

1.5 lbs potatoes, cut in half
1/2 c. butter, melted
2 tsp. garlic, minced (I use the pre-minced stuff in the jar)
1 tsp. salt
juice of 1 lemon (I used 2 Tbsp. of the bottled stuff)
1 Tbsp. grated Parmesan cheese

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Place potatoes in an 8x8 baking dish.  Combine butter, garlic, salt and lemon juice AND pour it over the potatoes.  Sprinkle the Parmesan over the potatoes.  Cover with foil and bake for 30 minutes.  Remove foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes or until golden and tender.

This goes wonderfully with the Food Nanny's - Crunchy Parmesan Chicken.  Don't forget to drizzle extra (lemon) butter sauce overtop.  The chicken will thank you!
