Ingredients
1.5 pounds baby potatoes (or any type of small potatoes), halved
– 3 tablespoons olive oil
– 4 garlic cloves, minced
– 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
– 1 teaspoon dried oregano
– 1 teaspoon garlic powder
– 1/2 teaspoon paprika (optional, for a hint of smokiness)
– Salt and freshly cracked black pepper, to taste
– Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Prepare the potatoes: Wash and halve the baby potatoes. Place them in a large mixing bowl.
3. Season the potatoes: Drizzle the olive oil over the potatoes, then add the minced garlic, Parmesan cheese, oregano, garlic powder, paprika (if using), salt, and black pepper. Toss everything together until the potatoes are evenly coated
4. Roast: Spread the seasoned potatoes in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Roast in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy on the outside and tender inside. Flip the potatoes halfway through cooking for even crispiness.
5. Garnish and serve: Once the potatoes are done, remove them from the oven and sprinkle with fresh parsley. Serve immediately and enjoy the crispy, garlicky goodness!
Notes
– Potato varieties: Baby potatoes are ideal for this recipe, but you can use any small waxy potatoes like Yukon Gold or fingerlings.
– Make it spicier: If you enjoy a bit of heat, feel free to add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the seasoning mixture.
– Storage: Leftover roasted potatoes can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. Reheat in the oven for a few minutes to regain their crispiness.
– For extra crispiness: After flipping the potatoes, you can broil them for 2-3 minutes at the end of the roasting time to make them even crispier.
