Ingredients
Scale
Potatoes
- 2 pounds small potatoes (such as baby Yukon Gold or red potatoes)
Seasoning and Coating
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon dried Italian herbs
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon salt (or to taste)
Garnish
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish, optional)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to ensure it’s ready to bake the potatoes to a perfect golden crisp.
- Prepare Potatoes: Wash and dry the potatoes thoroughly. Cut them into 1-inch pieces. For smaller potatoes like baby reds, halving or quartering is sufficient to ensure even cooking.
- Mix Coating: In a large bowl, combine olive oil, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, dried Italian herbs, black pepper, and salt. Stir well to create a flavorful coating mixture.
- Coat Potatoes: Add the cut potatoes to the bowl and toss them thoroughly to ensure every piece is evenly coated with the Parmesan and seasoning blend.
- Arrange for Baking: Spread the coated potatoes in a single layer on a large baking sheet. Avoid overcrowding to maintain crispiness. Use two baking sheets if necessary.
- Bake Potatoes: Place the baking sheet(s) in the preheated oven and bake for 30-40 minutes. Flip the potatoes halfway through baking to achieve even browning on all sides.
- Garnish and Serve: Once the potatoes are golden brown and crispy, remove them from the oven. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley if desired, serve immediately, and enjoy this crispy, flavorful side dish.
Notes
- Use baby Yukon Gold or red potatoes for the best texture and flavor.
- Do not overcrowd the baking sheet to ensure potatoes get crispy instead of steaming.
- Flipping the potatoes halfway through baking helps achieve uniform crispiness.
- Fresh parsley garnish is optional but adds a nice color and fresh flavor.
- Adjust salt to taste based on preference or dietary needs.
