Ingredients
Scale
Potatoes
- 1.5 pounds baby potatoes, halved
Seasoning and Coating
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Garnish
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prepare for roasting.
- Coat Potatoes with Oil: In a large mixing bowl, toss the halved baby potatoes with 3 tablespoons of olive oil until they are evenly coated, ensuring a crispy texture after roasting.
- Prepare Parmesan Mixture: In a separate bowl, combine 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1 teaspoon onion powder, 1 teaspoon dried oregano, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper to create a flavorful crust.
- Coat Potatoes with Seasoning: Add the Parmesan and seasoning mixture to the bowl with the oiled potatoes and toss thoroughly so each potato half is well coated with the cheese and spices.
- Arrange on Baking Sheet: Place the coated potatoes cut side down in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet to ensure even roasting.
- Roast Potatoes: Roast in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes until the potatoes are crispy and golden brown. Check doneness by piercing with a fork—it should meet little resistance.
- Cool and Garnish: Remove the roasted potatoes from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes. Transfer to a serving platter and sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley for a fresh, vibrant finish.
Notes
- These potatoes pair beautifully with grilled meats or as part of a vegetarian spread.
- For an extra touch of flavor, add a sprinkle of chili flakes to the Parmesan mixture for a little heat.
- Avoid overcrowding the baking sheet to ensure even crispiness; use two sheets if necessary.
- Leftovers can be reheated in a hot oven to maintain their crispiness.
