Ingredients
Scale
Potatoes
- 6 large potatoes (Yukon Gold or Russet), peeled and cut into cubes or wedges
Seasoning
- 4 tablespoons olive oil
- 5 cloves garlic, minced
- Salt, to taste
- Pepper, to taste
Topping
- 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 ensure easy cleanup and prevent sticking.
- Season Potatoes: In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Add the peeled and cut potatoes to the bowl and toss thoroughly until all pieces are well coated with the seasoning mixture.
- Roast: Arrange the seasoned potatoes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Place them in the preheated oven and roast for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the potatoes are golden brown and crispy on the outside, soft on the inside.
- Broil for Extra Crispiness: Turn on the broiler and broil the potatoes for 1 to 2 minutes. Keep a close eye to prevent burning; this step adds extra crispy edges.
- Toss with Parmesan and Parsley: In a separate bowl, mix the grated Parmesan cheese and chopped fresh parsley. Add the hot roasted potatoes and gently toss to coat them evenly. The residual heat will slightly melt the cheese, creating a savory coating.
Notes
- Yukon Gold potatoes provide a creamy texture, while Russet potatoes yield a crispier result; choose based on your preference.
- Adjust the amount of garlic to your taste for stronger or milder flavor.
- For extra crispiness, avoid overcrowding the baking sheet to allow even roasting.
- Use freshly grated Parmesan for the best flavor and texture.
- This dish pairs well with grilled meats, roasted chicken, or as a hearty vegetarian side.
