Crispy Parmesan Potatoes
Ingredients
Potatoes
- 2 pounds potatoes (Yukon Gold or russet work best; they crisp well)
Cheese and Seasonings
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese (freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano for best flavor)
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
- In a large bowl, pat the diced potatoes dry with a towel to remove excess moisture.
- Toss with the olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, and a generous pinch of salt and pepper.
- Spread the potatoes in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet, avoiding crowding.
- Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese evenly and generously over the potatoes.
Cooking
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25–30 minutes, tossing once halfway through to ensure even cooking.
- Remove from the oven, taste for seasoning, and garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving.
Notes
If using a broil step for extra crispiness, watch closely to avoid burning. Serve alongside grilled meats or as a part of a hearty brunch plate.
