Crispy Parmesan Potatoes

Step 1: Prepare the Potatoes

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
  2. Wash and Cut Potatoes: Wash the potatoes thoroughly. If using baby potatoes, cut them in half. If using larger potatoes, cut them into 1-inch chunks.

Step 2: Season the Potatoes

  1. Mix Seasonings: In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, dried thyme, dried rosemary, paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix well to create a seasoning mixture.
  2. Coat Potatoes: Add the cut potatoes to the bowl and toss them in the seasoning mixture until they are evenly coated.

Step 3: Roast the Potatoes

  1. Arrange on Baking Sheet: Spread the seasoned potatoes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Make sure they are not overlapping to ensure even cooking and crispiness.
  2. Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the potatoes are golden brown and crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. Flip the potatoes halfway through the baking time to ensure they cook evenly.

Step 4: Serve

  1. Garnish: Remove the potatoes from the oven and sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley for a pop of color and added flavor.
  2. Serve Hot: Serve the crispy Parmesan potatoes hot as a side dish to your favorite main course.

Tips for Perfect Crispy Parmesan Potatoes:

  • Potato Choice: Baby potatoes or Yukon Gold potatoes work best for this recipe due to their creamy texture and ability to hold their shape.
  • Uniform Size: Cut the potatoes into uniform sizes to ensure even cooking.
  • Crispiness: For extra crispy potatoes, you can increase the oven temperature to 425°F (220°C) and bake a little longer, keeping an eye on them to prevent burning.
  • Parmesan Cheese: Use freshly grated Parmesan cheese for the best flavor and texture.
  • Variations: Feel free to customize the seasonings to your taste. Add a pinch of cayenne pepper for a bit of heat or swap the dried herbs for your favorite herb blend.

Enjoy your crispy Parmesan potatoes as a delightful and flavorful addition to any meal!
