Ingredients

Scale

Potatoes

  • 1½ pounds baby Yukon Gold or red potatoes, washed and cut into bite-sized pieces

Seasonings & Coating

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning (oregano, thyme, basil blend)
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • ½ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese

Garnish (optional)

  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven and Prepare Potatoes: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Wash and dry the potatoes thoroughly. Cut them into even bite-sized pieces to ensure uniform cooking and crispiness. Drying prevents steam during roasting, which helps achieve that perfect crunch.
  2. Toss Potatoes with Olive Oil and Seasonings: In a large bowl, combine the potatoes with olive oil, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Toss everything together until the potatoes are evenly coated. The olive oil coats each piece, helping them brown beautifully in the oven.
  3. Add Parmesan Cheese: Sprinkle the grated Parmesan over the seasoned potatoes and toss gently to spread the cheesy flavor all over. Be careful not to pack the cheese too tightly, as you want it to crisp rather than clump.
  4. Roast until Golden and Crispy: Arrange the potatoes in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone mat. Roast for about 25 to 30 minutes, flipping once halfway through to ensure even browning. Look for an irresistibly golden exterior and tender inside.
  5. Garnish and Serve Warm: Once out of the oven, sprinkle fresh parsley over the potatoes for color and a hint of herbal freshness. Serve immediately to enjoy the potatoes at their crispiest and most flavorful.

Notes

  • Use uniform potato pieces to guarantee even roasting and minimize burning.
  • Don’t crowd the pan; give potatoes space to roast crisp instead of steaming.
  • Use freshly grated Parmesan for best crisping; pre-grated may contain anti-caking agents.
  • Flip potatoes midway through roasting for even golden browning and crispiness.
  • Pat dry potatoes before seasoning to create a crisp crust.
  • Serve immediately for optimal crispiness and flavor.
