Ingredients
Scale
Potatoes
- 1 pound small Yukon Gold or red potatoes
Seasoning
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 teaspoons garlic powder (or 3 cloves fresh garlic, minced)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
Cheese & Herbs
- ½ cup grated fresh Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) to ensure a hot baking environment for crispy potatoes.
- Prepare Potatoes: Scrub the potatoes clean under running water to remove any dirt, then slice them in half to allow even cooking and a crispy exterior.
- Season Potatoes: In a large bowl, toss the halved potatoes with olive oil, garlic powder or minced fresh garlic, salt, and black pepper until the potatoes are evenly coated with the seasoning.
- Add Parmesan: Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the seasoned potatoes and toss gently to distribute the cheese evenly, which will help create a flavorful crust.
- Bake: Spread the coated potatoes in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the potatoes turn golden brown and crispy on the outside while remaining tender inside.
- Garnish and Serve: Remove the potatoes from the oven and immediately sprinkle them with chopped fresh parsley for a burst of color and fresh flavor before serving.
Notes
- Using Yukon Gold or red potatoes works best as they hold their shape and have a creamy texture.
- For extra crispiness, space out the potatoes on the baking sheet without overcrowding.
- If using fresh garlic instead of garlic powder, mince it finely to prevent burning during baking.
- Grated Parmesan cheese adds a rich, savory flavor and helps create a delicious crust.
- Store leftovers in the refrigerator in an airtight container and reheat in the oven for best results.
