Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 2 pounds baby potatoes Red or gold, halved.
- 3 tbsp olive oil or melted butter For crispiness.
- 4 cloves garlic Minced.
- ½ tsp salt Enhances taste and crispiness.
- ½ tsp black pepper Adds a little depth.
- 1 tsp dried Italian seasoning A mix of oregano, basil, and thyme.
- ½ cup grated parmesan cheese For a crispy, cheesy crust.
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley Chopped, for garnish (optional).
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it to prevent sticking.
- Wash and cut the potatoes in half (or into bite-sized pieces if using larger potatoes).
- Pat the potatoes dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture for better crispiness.
- In a large bowl, toss the potatoes with olive oil (or melted butter), minced garlic, salt, pepper, Italian seasoning, and half of the parmesan cheese. Mix well until evenly coated.
- Spread the potatoes in a single layer, cut-side down, on the baking sheet to maximize crisping.
- Bake for 35–40 minutes, flipping the potatoes halfway through to ensure even browning.
- In the last 5 minutes of baking, sprinkle the remaining parmesan cheese over the potatoes and let them finish roasting.
- Remove from the oven and sprinkle with fresh parsley for extra flavor.
- Serve immediately while hot and crispy.
Notes
For extra crispiness, broil for the last 2 minutes while keeping a close eye on them.
