Potatoes
- 1.5 pounds Yukon Gold or red potatoes, washed and cut into evenly sized wedges or cubes
Cheese & Oil
- 1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
Flavorings
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary or thyme, chopped
- Salt, to taste (about 1 teaspoon)
- Black pepper, to taste (about 1/2 teaspoon)
- Prep Your Potatoes: Wash the potatoes thoroughly and cut them into evenly sized wedges or cubes to ensure uniform cooking and crispiness.
- Toss with Olive Oil and Seasonings: In a large bowl, coat the potatoes with olive oil, minced garlic, salt, pepper, and your choice of fresh herbs until each piece is well coated for maximum flavor and even roasting.
- Add the Parmesan: Gently fold in the freshly grated Parmesan cheese, making sure it sticks to the potatoes to form a savory crust once roasted.
- Arrange for Roasting: Spread the potatoes in a single layer on a baking sheet, allowing hot air to circulate and crisp up all sides evenly.
- Roast Until Golden: Bake in a preheated oven at 425°F (220°C) for 25-30 minutes, flipping the potatoes halfway through to achieve even browning and a crunchy texture.
- Serve Warm: Remove from the oven once perfectly golden and crispy, and serve immediately to enjoy their full flavor and texture contrast.
Notes
- Cut potatoes evenly to ensure consistent cooking.
- Use freshly grated Parmesan cheese for better melting and flavor compared to pre-shredded.
- Avoid overcrowding the pan to prevent steaming and ensure crispiness.
- Flip potatoes halfway through roasting to develop an even golden crust.
- Roast at high heat (425°F/220°C) to lock in crispiness without drying out the potatoes.
