Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 2 pounds (907 grams) baby potatoes
- 1/2 cup (50 grams) grated Parmesan cheese
Seasonings:
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- Salt, to taste
- Pepper, to taste
Cooking Ingredients:
- 2 tablespoons (30 milliliters) olive oil
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Thoroughly cleanse baby potatoes, removing any dirt or debris, and slice into uniform halves or quarters to ensure even cooking.
- Combine potato pieces with olive oil and a medley of aromatic seasonings including garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, basil, salt, and pepper in a spacious mixing vessel.
- Meticulously coat each potato fragment with the seasoning mixture, ensuring comprehensive and even distribution of flavors.
- Prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil to prevent sticking and facilitate easy cleanup.
- Distribute the seasoned potato pieces across the baking sheet in a single, uncrowded layer to promote optimal crispiness.
- Generously dust the potato surface with finely grated Parmesan cheese, creating a delectable golden crust.
- Position the baking sheet in a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) and roast for approximately 30-35 minutes.
- Midway through cooking, carefully rotate the potatoes to guarantee uniform browning and crisp exterior on all sides.
- Validate doneness by checking for a golden-brown exterior and tender interior texture.
- Extract from the oven and embellish with freshly chopped parsley for a vibrant, herbaceous finish before serving.
Notes
- Ensure potatoes are cut uniformly to guarantee even cooking and consistent crispiness throughout the dish.
- Patting potatoes dry before seasoning helps achieve extra crunchiness and allows herbs and cheese to stick better.
- Use freshly grated Parmesan for maximum flavor and better melting compared to pre-packaged cheese.
- Adjust cooking time for different potato sizes, checking tenderness with a fork to prevent overcooking or undercooking.
