🌿 Why You’ll Love This Recipe

• Golden and crispy on the outside while soft and fluffy on the inside.

• Versatile — pairs with almost any main dish: chicken, steak, fish, or a vegetarian meal.
• Easy to make with just a few pantry staples.

🥄 Ingredients

• 2 pounds small potatoes (Yukon gold or red potatoes work best)
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 2 teaspoons garlic powder (or 2 cloves fresh garlic, minced)
• 1 teaspoon salt
• ½ teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon dried rosemary or thyme (optional)
• Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

👩‍🍳 Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°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 — 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.

💡 Tips for the Perfect Roast

• Dry potatoes well after washing; moisture prevents crispiness.
• Use a light coating of oil — 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 — oregano, basil, or smoked paprika can add exciting flavors.
