Ingredients

2 pounds red potatoes, cut into 1-inch pieces
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
3 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 teaspoon oregano
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
Chopped parsley for garnish

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). For extra crispiness, place the baking sheet inside the oven while it preheats.
Step 2: In a large mixing bowl, combine the diced red potatoes, olive oil, grated parmesan cheese, minced garlic, oregano, salt, and pepper. Toss until the potatoes are evenly coated.
Step 3: Carefully remove the hot baking sheet from the oven. Spread the potato mixture in a single layer on the baking sheet.
Step 4: Roast the potatoes in the oven for 25-30 minutes, until they turn golden and crispy.
Step 5: Halfway through roasting, flip the potatoes with a spatula to ensure even browning.
Step 6: For an extra crispy finish, switch the oven to broil and cook the potatoes for an additional 2-3 minutes. Watch closely to avoid burning.
Step 7: Remove the potatoes from the oven and garnish with chopped parsley.
Step 8: Serve hot alongside your favorite main dishes and enjoy.

Tips & Variations

Use Yukon Gold potatoes for a creamier texture or russets for a fluffier interior.
Add a pinch of smoked paprika or chili flakes for a spicy twist.
Try fresh rosemary instead of oregano for a different herb flavor.
For dairy-free, omit parmesan or substitute with nutritional yeast.

Storage

Store leftover roasted potatoes in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in a 400°F (200°C) oven for 10 minutes to revive their crispiness. Avoid microwaving to keep them from becoming soggy.

FAQs

Can I use other types of potatoes for this recipe?

Yes, you can use Yukon Gold or russet potatoes. Just adjust roasting time slightly as different potatoes vary in moisture content.

How can I make these potatoes crispier?

Preheating the baking sheet and broiling for a few minutes at the end of cooking both help achieve extra crispiness. Also, avoid overcrowding the pan to allow proper air circulation.
