Equipment
- Oven
- Large Mixing Bowl
- Baking Sheet
- Parchment Paper
- Spatula
Ingredients
- 2 pounds baby potatoes halved
- 4 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic minced
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley chopped
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) for roasting the potatoes to crispy perfection.
- Wash the baby potatoes thoroughly and cut them in half to ensure even cooking and crispy edges.
Seasoning and Tossing
- In a large mixing bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper; stir well to distribute flavors evenly.
- Add the halved potatoes to the bowl and toss thoroughly to coat every piece with the seasoning mixture.
Roasting
- Spread the potatoes in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or lightly greased, avoiding overcrowding.
- Roast in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, flipping the potatoes halfway through to ensure even browning.
Finishing Touches
- Remove the potatoes from the oven once tender and golden brown; immediately sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese over them and toss gently to combine.
- Sprinkle chopped fresh parsley over the potatoes for freshness and color.
Serving
- Serve the Garlic Parmesan Roasted Potatoes hot as a side dish to your favorite main courses and enjoy.
Notes
- Do not overcrowd the baking sheet to ensure the potatoes roast instead of steam, resulting in crispier texture.
- Add Parmesan cheese only after roasting to prevent it from burning and to create a delicious melty coating.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days and reheat in the oven to restore crispiness.
