Peel the potatoes using a peeler or knife, removing any bad parts, and keep them in cold water to prevent discoloration.

Cut the potatoes into wedges or any desired shape.

Wash the cut potatoes to remove excess starch.

Place the potatoes in a pot and add a little salt and cold water.

Bring the water to a boil and cook the potatoes for 2-4 minutes until al dente.

Prepare a butter sauce by melting half a stick of unsalted butter and adding parsley, vegetable seasoning, and chicken seasoning.

Strain the potatoes and place them in a bowl.

Add the butter sauce to the potatoes and toss until evenly coated.

Transfer the coated potatoes to a baking dish and bake in a 350°F (175°C) oven for about 30 minutes until the outside is crisp and the inside is tender.
