Ingredients
Scale
Potatoes
- 2 pounds baby potatoes (halved)
Seasoning
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1 cup Parmesan cheese (grated)
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F to ensure it’s hot and ready for baking the potatoes, which helps to achieve a crispy crust.
- Prepare potatoes: Halve the baby potatoes and place them in a large mixing bowl to make them ready for seasoning.
- Coat with olive oil: Pour olive oil over the halved potatoes and toss until they are evenly coated, helping the seasonings stick and promoting crispiness during baking.
- Add seasonings: Stir in the minced garlic, grated Parmesan cheese, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Mix well so all potatoes are evenly covered with the flavorful mixture.
- Arrange on baking sheet: Spread the seasoned potatoes in a single layer on a baking sheet to ensure even cooking and browning.
- Bake the potatoes: Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, turning the potatoes halfway through the cooking time to ensure they brown evenly and become crispy.
- Cool and serve: Remove the potatoes from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes before serving to allow the crust to set and flavors to meld.
Notes
- For extra crispiness, use a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a lightly greased metal tray.
- You can add fresh herbs like rosemary or thyme for additional flavor.
- Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated in the oven for best texture.
- This dish pairs well with grilled meats, roasted chicken, or salads.
