Roasted Parmesan Potatoes

Ingredients

Scale

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)

Instructions

  1. Prep Your Potatoes: Wash the potatoes thoroughly and cut them into evenly sized wedges or cubes to ensure uniform cooking and crispiness.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
