  • Easy to make with just a few pantry staples.

πŸ₯„ Ingredients

  • 2 pounds small potatoes (Yukon gold or red potatoes work best)
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • Β½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 teaspoons garlic powder (or 2 cloves fresh garlic, minced)
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • Β½ teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon dried rosemary or thyme (optional)
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

πŸ‘©β€πŸ³ Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 425Β°F (220Β°C).
  2. Wash and cut potatoes into even bite-sized pieces.
  3. Toss potatoes in olive oil, Parmesan, garlic, salt, pepper, and herbs until evenly coated.
  4. Spread on a baking sheet in a single layer, making sure they aren’t crowded β€” this ensures maximum crispiness.
  5. Roast for 25–30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crispy.
  6. Garnish with fresh parsley and a little extra Parmesan if desired. Serve hot.

πŸ’‘ Tips for the Perfect Roast

  • Dry potatoes well after washing; moisture prevents crispiness.
  • Use a light coating of oil β€” too much makes them greasy, too little prevents browning.
  • Don’t overcrowd the pan; air circulation is key to getting that perfect crunch.
  • Experiment with herbs β€” oregano, basil, or smoked paprika can add exciting flavors.
