Ingredients
Scale
- 4 medium potatoes (Russet, Yukon Gold, or red), cut into wedges or cubes
- ½ cup (120 ml) grated Parmesan cheese
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 3 tbsps (45 ml) olive oil
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
- ½ tsp paprika
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- 1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Preparation: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease to prevent sticking.
- Potato Preparation: Slice potatoes into uniform wedges or cubes for consistent cooking and texture, ensuring each piece is roughly the same size.
- Seasoning Blend: In a large mixing bowl, coat potato pieces thoroughly with extra virgin olive oil, then sprinkle with minced garlic, Italian seasoning, paprika, garlic powder, kosher salt, and black pepper, mixing intensely to distribute seasonings evenly.
- Cheese Coating: Generously dust potatoes with grated Parmesan cheese, gently tossing to create a complete, flavorful layer that will crisp elegantly during roasting.
- Roasting Process: Spread potatoes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, maintaining space between pieces to guarantee maximum crispiness. Roast in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, rotating midway to achieve uniform golden-brown coloration.
- Final Touch: Remove from oven when potatoes display a crispy exterior and tender interior. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley for a burst of color and aromatic finish.
- Serving: Present immediately while potatoes are piping hot and perfectly crisp, showcasing a delightful blend of herb and cheese flavors.
Notes
- Slice Potatoes Uniformly: Cut potatoes into consistent sizes to guarantee even cooking and prevent uneven texture, ensuring each piece roasts perfectly.
- Oil Coating Matters: Thoroughly coat potato pieces with extra virgin olive oil to help achieve a crispy, golden exterior and enhance overall flavor absorption.
- Spacing is Crucial: Arrange potatoes in a single layer with gaps between them on the baking sheet to prevent steaming and maximize crispiness.
- Check Doneness Carefully: Test potatoes at 25-minute mark by looking for golden-brown color and crispy exterior while maintaining a tender inside.
