Ingredients
Scale
- 2 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes (or other waxy potatoes like red potatoes), scrubbed clean
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning (or a mix of dried oregano and thyme)
- 1/2 teaspoon salt, or to taste
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, or to taste
- Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- 1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- 2. Cut the potatoes into roughly 1-inch chunks, ensuring similar sizes for even cooking. Do not peel if you prefer.
- 3. Place potato chunks in a large bowl, drizzle with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, and toss to coat.
- 4. Spread potatoes in a single layer on a large baking sheet. Avoid overcrowding.
- 5. Roast for 20-25 minutes, until fork-tender and starting to brown.
- 6. While potatoes roast, whisk together melted butter, remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil, minced garlic, Parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper in a small bowl.
- 7. Increase oven temperature to 425°F (220°C).
- 8. Remove potatoes from oven and return them to a bowl. Pour the garlic Parmesan mixture over the warm potatoes and toss to coat each piece thoroughly.
- 9. Spread the coated potatoes back onto the baking sheet in a single layer.
- 10. Bake for another 15-20 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and crispy, and potato edges are deeply browned.
- 11. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired. Serve immediately.
Notes
Store cooled leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. Reheat in a 375°F (190°C) oven for 10-15 minutes for best crispiness. An air fryer also works well for reheating.
