Ingredients
Scale
Potatoes
- 6 large potatoes, peeled and cut into cubes or wedges (Yukon Gold or Russet recommended)
Seasoning
- 4 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 5 cloves garlic, minced
Topping
- ¼ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
- ¼ cup fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
- Preheat and Prep: Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ease cleanup.
- Season Potatoes: In a large bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Add the peeled and cut potatoes, tossing them thoroughly to ensure each piece is evenly coated with the garlic-infused oil and seasoning.
- Roast: Spread the coated potatoes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Roast them in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the potatoes turn golden brown and develop a crispy exterior.
- Broil for Crispiness: Switch the oven setting to broil and broil the potatoes for 1-2 minutes, keeping a close watch to avoid burning. This step adds extra crispy edges to the potatoes.
- Toss with Parmesan and Parsley: In a clean bowl, mix together the freshly grated Parmesan cheese and chopped parsley. Add the hot roasted potatoes to this mixture and gently toss until the potatoes are lightly coated with the melted cheese and fresh herbs, enhancing their flavor and texture.
Notes
- For best results, use Yukon Gold or Russet potatoes for their texture and flavor when roasted.
- Keep an eye on the potatoes when broiling to prevent burning due to the high heat.
- You can adjust garlic quantity based on your taste preferences.
- This dish pairs well with grilled meats, roasted chicken, or as a flavorful vegetarian side.
- If you prefer, fresh Parmesan cheese can be substituted with pre-grated Parmesan, although freshly grated offers better melting and flavor.
