Description
Parmesan garlic roasted red potatoes are incredibly crispy on the outside yet so soft in the middle. They get so much flavor from the garlic and Italian herbs, while the Parmesan cheese adds a crispy texture and nuttiness! Yumm! These will disappear fast.
Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 1.5 lb baby red potatoes*
- 1 Tbsp avocado or extra virgin olive oil
- 1 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 2 tsp Italian seasoning
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 1/2 tsp sea salt, heaping, or to taste
- 3/4 cup shredded Parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F (205°C). Line a large baking sheet with aluminum foil and grease it with butter or oil to prevent sticking. Alternatively, grease the baking sheet directly, or use parchment paper.
- Wash the potatoes and scrub the skins as needed with a potato scrubber. Dry them, then cut into quarters or in half if they are small. You want to end up with inch thick pieces.
- In a medium bowl, combine potatoes, oil, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, pepper, and salt. Mix everything with your hands or spatula until potatoes are evenly coated.
- Evenly distribute the potatoes on the baking sheet and bake for 25 minutes.
- Carefully toss them around with a wooden spoon and bake for 10 more minutes.
- Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese. Place back in the oven for about 3-4 minutes, or until cheese has melted.
- Potatoes are done when they are very crispy and golden on the outside, but tender and soft in the middle. Enjoy with roasted salmon, chicken, or burgers to name a few options.
Notes
You may use larger sized red potatoes, but be sure to cut them into small pieces, about an inch thick.
Before sprinkling potatoes with cheese, move them to the center so that the cheese can cover the potatoes better.
If at the end of the final step your potatoes are still not very tender, bake an additional 5 minutes or until tender.
