Ingredients
- 2 pounds baby potatoes, halved
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- Fresh parsley, chopped for garnish
Feel free to substitute baby potatoes with Yukon Gold or red potatoes if you prefer. Fresh herbs can also be used in place of dried ones for a more vibrant flavor.
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
- In a large bowl, combine the halved potatoes, olive oil, minced garlic, salt, pepper, oregano, and thyme. Toss until the potatoes are evenly coated.
- Spread the seasoned potatoes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Ensure they are cut side down for maximum crispy edges.
- Roast in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the potatoes are golden brown and tender when pierced with a fork.
- Remove from the oven and immediately sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the hot potatoes. Toss gently to coat, allowing the cheese to melt slightly.
- Garnish with fresh parsley before serving for a pop of color and freshness.
One tip I learned from my grandmother is to listen to the sizzle as the potatoes roast. It’s a sign they’re crisping up nicely!
