Ingredients
Scale
Potatoes
- 6 large potatoes, peeled and cut into cubes or wedges (Yukon Gold or Russet recommended)
Seasoning & Topping
- 4 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 5 cloves garlic, minced
- ¼ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
- ¼ cup fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
- Preheat and Prep: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prepare for roasting the potatoes.
- Season Potatoes: In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Add the peeled and cut potatoes to this mixture and toss well until all pieces are thoroughly coated with the seasoning.
- Roast: Spread the seasoned potatoes evenly in a single layer on the lined baking sheet. Roast in the preheated oven for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the potatoes are golden brown and have a crispy exterior.
- Broil: Turn on the oven broiler and place the baking sheet under the broiler for 1 to 2 minutes, watching carefully. This step adds extra crispy edges to the potatoes without burning them.
- Toss with Parmesan and Parsley: In a clean bowl, mix the freshly grated Parmesan cheese and chopped parsley. Add the hot roasted potatoes to this mixture and gently toss to coat them evenly. The warmth of the potatoes will slightly melt the cheese, creating a delicious savory coating.
Notes
- Use Yukon Gold or Russet potatoes for the best texture and flavor.
- Watch the broiler closely to avoid burning the potatoes during the final crisping step.
- For extra flavor, you can add a pinch of smoked paprika or rosemary to the seasoning mix before roasting.
- To make this recipe gluten-free and vegetarian friendly, ensure your Parmesan cheese is suitable or substitute with a vegan cheese alternative if needed.
