Ingredients
Potatoes
- 2 pounds of baby potatoes, halved
Seasoning
- 3 tablespoons of olive oil
- 4 cloves of garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon of salt
- 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper
- 1 teaspoon of dried oregano
Toppings and Garnish
- 1/4 cup of grated parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons of chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to ensure it’s ready for roasting the potatoes.
- Prepare Potatoes: Wash the baby potatoes thoroughly and dry them with a clean towel. Cut each potato in half to allow even cooking and better crispiness.
- Make Seasoning Mixture: In a large mixing bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, salt, black pepper, and dried oregano. Mix well to create a flavorful coating for the potatoes.
- Toss Potatoes: Add the halved potatoes to the bowl with the seasoning mixture. Toss everything together until each potato is evenly coated with the oil and spices.
- Arrange on Baking Sheet: Spread the coated potatoes out on a baking sheet in a single layer, ensuring they are not overcrowded to promote crispness.
- Roast Potatoes: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes. Roast until the potatoes turn golden brown and develop a crispy exterior.
- Add Parmesan Cheese: Remove the baking sheet from the oven and sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese evenly over the potatoes.
- Finish Baking: Return the potatoes to the oven for an additional 5 minutes to allow the cheese to melt and slightly crisp up on top.
- Garnish and Serve: Take the potatoes out of the oven and sprinkle the chopped fresh parsley over them for a burst of freshness and color. Serve warm.
Notes
- For extra crispiness, use a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or lightly greased.
- Feel free to substitute fresh oregano instead of dried if available; use about 1 tablespoon fresh.
- Roast times may vary depending on your oven and potato size; check for desired golden brown color.
- These potatoes pair well with grilled meats, roasted chicken, or a fresh green salad.
- Leftovers can be refrigerated and reheated in the oven to maintain crispiness.
