Description

These crispy parmesan roasted potatoes feature an extra crunchy golden-brown crust with a fluffy interior, making them a perfect easy side dish for any meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pounds russet potatoes (about 900g)
  • 1 cup finely grated parmesan cheese (100g)
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil (45ml)
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon dried Italian herbs (oregano, thyme, basil blend)
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • Optional: 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
  • Optional: 2 tablespoons panko breadcrumbs (for extra crunch)

Instructions

  1. Wash and peel the russet potatoes. Cut into 1-inch cubes.
  2. Soak the potato cubes in cold water for 10 minutes to remove excess starch.
  3. Drain and pat the potatoes dry thoroughly with a clean kitchen towel or paper towels.
  4. In a large mixing bowl, toss the dried potatoes with olive oil, garlic powder, dried Italian herbs, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
  5. Add the freshly grated parmesan cheese (and optional panko breadcrumbs if using) and toss gently to coat.
  6. Spread the potatoes out in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet, ensuring space between pieces to avoid overcrowding.
  7. Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C) and roast the potatoes for 20 minutes.
  8. Flip the potatoes using a spatula or tongs to ensure even browning.
  9. Continue roasting for another 15-20 minutes until golden brown and extra crispy on the edges.
  10. Remove from oven, sprinkle with fresh parsley and additional fresh pepper if desired.
  11. Serve immediately for best crunch.

Notes

Soaking and thoroughly drying the potatoes before roasting is key to achieving extra crunch. Use freshly grated parmesan cheese for the best crispy crust. Avoid overcrowding the pan to prevent steaming. Flip potatoes halfway through roasting for even browning. For extra crunch, add panko breadcrumbs with the parmesan. Reheat leftovers in a 400°F oven for 10 minutes to restore crispiness.
