Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 2 pounds (907 grams) baby potatoes, halved
- 1/4 cup (25 grams) grated Parmesan cheese
Seasoning Ingredients:
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Cooking Ingredients:
- 2 tablespoons (30 milliliters) olive oil
- Fresh parsley, chopped for garnish
Instructions
- Heat oven to 400°F, preparing a spacious baking sheet for crispy potato preparation.
- Slice baby potatoes in half, ensuring uniform size for consistent roasting.
- Combine potatoes with aromatic herbs, crushed garlic, and olive oil in a mixing vessel, thoroughly coating each piece.
- Distribute potato pieces across baking sheet in a precise single layer, avoiding overcrowding to promote optimal caramelization.
- Roast potatoes for 30-35 minutes, rotating midway to ensure even golden-brown exterior and tender interior.
- During final 5 minutes, generously shower potatoes with finely grated Parmesan cheese, allowing it to melt and create a crispy, savory crust.
- Extract from oven when cheese turns slightly golden and potatoes emit a fragrant, herb-infused aroma.
- Delicately garnish with freshly chopped parsley, adding a vibrant green accent and fresh herbaceous note before serving immediately.
Notes
- Ensure even potato sizes for uniform cooking, preventing some pieces from burning while others remain undercooked.
- Use a heavy-bottomed baking sheet to promote better heat distribution and achieve maximum crispiness.
- For a gluten-free version, verify that the Parmesan cheese is completely free from gluten-containing additives.
- Pat potatoes dry before seasoning to help them crisp up beautifully and prevent steaming instead of roasting.
