Description
Crispy, golden roasted potatoes tossed with garlic, herbs, and Parmesan cheese. This easy side dish features a fluffy interior and crunchy exterior, perfect for any meal.
Ingredients
Scale
- 3 pounds Russet potatoes
- Water (for boiling)
- 1 tablespoon Salt (for boiling water)
- 3 tablespoons Extra Virgin Olive Oil
- 5–6 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Dried Oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon Dried Thyme
- 1/2 teaspoon Paprika
- 3/4 cup Parmesan Cheese, freshly grated
- 2 tablespoons Fresh Parsley, chopped
- 1/2 teaspoon Black Pepper, freshly cracked
Instructions
- Peel potatoes (optional) and cut into 1-inch cubes.
- Fill a large pot with water, add 1 tablespoon salt, and bring to a rolling boil.
- Add potato cubes and parboil for 8-10 minutes until tender on the outside but firm in the center.
- Drain potatoes in a colander and let sit for 2-3 minutes to steam off excess water.
- Transfer hot potatoes back to the pot or a large bowl. Add a splash of cold water and shake vigorously for 10 seconds to rough up the exterior.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, dried oregano, dried thyme, paprika, and black pepper.
- Add potatoes to the oil mixture and toss gently until evenly coated.
- Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Spread potatoes in a single layer on the baking sheet, ensuring they are not crowded.
- Roast for 20 minutes, then flip potatoes and sprinkle half of the Parmesan cheese over them.
- Return to oven and roast for another 10-15 minutes until golden brown and crispy.
- Remove from oven and immediately sprinkle remaining Parmesan and fresh parsley over the hot potatoes.
- Toss gently and serve immediately.
Notes
Do not skip the parboiling step as it ensures a crispy exterior and fluffy interior. Ensure potatoes are not crowded on the baking sheet to prevent steaming. For best results, grate Parmesan cheese yourself rather than using pre-grated varieties. Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 4 days and reheated in the oven or air fryer to restore crispiness.
