Ingredients
Scale
Potato Base:
- 2 lbs (907 grams) baby potatoes, halved
Seasoning Blend:
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
Finishing Ingredients:
- 3 tablespoons (45 milliliters) olive oil
- 1/4 cup (25 grams) grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons (8 grams) fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
- Prepare oven to 400°F, ensuring rack is positioned in the center for even heat distribution.
- Slice potatoes into uniform halves, creating a flat surface for optimal crispiness.
- Create a flavor-packed coating by combining olive oil with garlic powder, onion powder, thyme, rosemary, paprika, salt, and pepper in a mixing bowl.
- Thoroughly coat potato halves with the seasoned oil mixture, ensuring each piece is evenly and generously covered.
- Arrange potatoes cut-side down on a baking sheet, allowing maximum contact with the hot surface for a golden, crispy exterior.
- Roast in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, monitoring color and texture until edges turn deep golden brown and surfaces become crackling crisp.
- Immediately after removing from oven, generously sprinkle freshly grated Parmesan cheese over the hot potatoes, allowing the residual heat to slightly melt the cheese.
- Finish by scattering finely chopped fresh parsley across the potatoes for a vibrant burst of color and added freshness.
- Serve piping hot, allowing guests to enjoy the perfect balance of crispy exterior and tender interior.
Notes
- Opt for waxy potatoes like Yukon Gold or red potatoes for the crispiest exterior and creamy interior.
- Use freshly grated Parmesan cheese instead of pre-packaged for maximum flavor and better melting.
- Ensure potatoes are thoroughly dried after washing to achieve maximum crispiness and prevent steaming.
- For a gluten-free version, double-check that the Parmesan cheese is pure and not mixed with fillers.
