Ingredients
Scale
Potatoes
- 2 pounds red potatoes, washed and cut into 1-inch cubes
Cheese
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Herbs
- 2 teaspoons dried Italian herbs (oregano, basil, thyme)
Seasoning
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
Oil
- ¼ cup olive oil
Instructions
- Preheat the oven. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) to ensure it is hot enough to roast the potatoes to a perfect golden crisp.
- Coat the potatoes with oil. In a large mixing bowl, toss the cubed red potatoes with olive oil until they are evenly coated, which helps in achieving a crispy texture.
- Add cheese and seasonings. Add the grated Parmesan cheese, dried Italian herbs, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper to the bowl. Mix thoroughly so each potato piece is fully covered with the flavorful mixture.
- Arrange on baking sheet. Spread the seasoned potatoes out in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper to prevent sticking and promote even roasting.
- Roast the potatoes. Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for 30-35 minutes. Stir the potatoes halfway through cooking to ensure even roasting and a uniformly crispy exterior.
- Serve. Remove the roasted potatoes from the oven and allow them to cool for a few minutes before serving to enhance flavor and texture.
Notes
- For extra crispiness, use a baking sheet with raised edges to help the potatoes roast evenly.
- Feel free to substitute dried Italian herbs with fresh rosemary or thyme if preferred.
- Make sure to stir the potatoes halfway through cooking to avoid burning and to ensure all sides get crispy.
- This dish pairs wonderfully with grilled meats or as part of a vegetarian meal.
