Ingredients
Scale
Potatoes
- 2 pounds red potatoes, washed and cut into 1-inch cubes
Cheese
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Herbs and Seasoning
- 2 teaspoons dried Italian herbs (oregano, basil, thyme)
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
Oil
- ¼ cup olive oil
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) to ensure it’s hot enough to crisp the potatoes perfectly.
- Coat Potatoes with Oil: In a large mixing bowl, toss the cubed red potatoes with the olive oil until all pieces are evenly coated. This helps in roasting and developing a golden crust.
- Mix in Seasonings and Cheese: Add grated Parmesan cheese, dried Italian herbs, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper to the bowl. Stir well so the potatoes are thoroughly covered with all the flavorful ingredients.
- Arrange on Baking Sheet: Spread the seasoned potatoes out in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper to prevent sticking and promote even roasting.
- Roast the Potatoes: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for 30-35 minutes. Halfway through, stir the potatoes to encourage even cooking and crispiness on all sides.
- Cool and Serve: Remove the potatoes from the oven once they are golden brown and crispy. Let them cool for a few minutes before serving to enjoy their creamy yet crispy texture.
Notes
- For extra crispiness, avoid overcrowding the baking sheet.
- You can substitute red potatoes with Yukon gold potatoes for a slightly different texture.
- Adding fresh chopped parsley or chives before serving adds a nice color and fresh flavor.
- Adjust salt and herbs to taste depending on your preference.
