Ingredients
Scale
- 2 pounds baby potatoes, halved
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon dried Italian herbs
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 3/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, toss the halved baby potatoes with olive oil, garlic powder, dried Italian herbs, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.
- Add the grated Parmesan cheese and toss again to coat the potatoes thoroughly.
- Arrange the potatoes cut-side down in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
- Roast in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the potatoes are golden and crispy on the edges.
- Remove from the oven, sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley if desired, and serve hot.
Notes
- Do not crowd the pan, as this can cause the potatoes to steam instead of crisp.
- Soaking the potatoes in cold water for 20 minutes before roasting can enhance crispiness.
- The cheese is the key ingredient for the crunchy crust.
- Ensure the oven is fully preheated before adding the potatoes for best results.
- Pre-shredded cheese can be used, though it may clump more.
- If using an air fryer, monitor closely as the cheese can burn quickly.
- For a vegan option, nutritional yeast and oil can be used as a substitute for Parmesan.
- Ensure adequate oil is used or the cheese may stick to the pan.
