Ingredients

Scale

Potatoes

  • 1.5 pounds Yukon Gold or baby potatoes, washed and cut into evenly sized pieces

Garlic & Herbs

  • 34 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 tablespoons fresh rosemary, thyme, or parsley, chopped

Cheese & Seasoning

  • 1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven and Prepare Potatoes: Start by heating your oven to 425°F (220°C). Wash and dry your potatoes thoroughly, then cut them into evenly sized pieces to ensure uniform cooking and ultimate crispiness.
  2. Toss Potatoes with Olive Oil, Garlic, and Herbs: In a large bowl, mix the potato pieces with olive oil, minced garlic, and your chosen fresh herbs. Make sure each piece is well coated so the flavors soak in during roasting.
  3. Add Parmesan and Seasonings: Sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese over the potatoes along with sea salt and freshly cracked black pepper. Toss lightly to distribute the cheese, which will melt and crisp up during baking.
  4. Roast Until Golden and Crispy: Spread the potatoes on a baking sheet in a single layer. Roast for about 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through to get an even golden crust and tender interior.
  5. Serve Warm with Extra Herbs: Once out of the oven, give the potatoes a final sprinkle of fresh herbs and an optional dash more Parmesan before serving. The result is an aromatic, crispy, cheesy side that complements any meal.

Notes

  • Choose the right potato: Yukon Gold or red potatoes hold their shape and crisp nicely when roasted.
  • Dry thoroughly: Make sure the potatoes are completely dry after washing to avoid steaming instead of roasting.
  • Use fresh Parmesan: Grate your cheese fresh for the best texture and melt.
  • Don’t overcrowd: Leave space on the baking sheet so the potatoes roast instead of steam.
  • Flip gently: Turn the potatoes halfway through baking to promote even browning.
  • Edit garlic amount: Adjust garlic to your liking; roasting mellows the sharpness beautifully.
