Ingredients
- Potatoes — 2 pounds, preferably Yukon Gold or Russet
- Olive oil — 3 tablespoons
- Garlic cloves — 4 cloves, minced
- Grated parmesan cheese — ½ cup
- Fresh parsley — 2 tablespoons, chopped
- Salt — 1 teaspoon
- Black pepper — ½ teaspoon
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it to prevent sticking.
- Wash the potatoes thoroughly and pat them dry. Cut them into bite-sized cubes, leaving the skin on for added texture and flavor.
- In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Add the potato cubes to the bowl and toss them gently to coat them evenly with the mixture.
- Spread the coated potato cubes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Make sure they are not overcrowded to ensure even roasting.
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast the potatoes for about 30-35 minutes or until they are golden brown and crispy on the outside.
- Remove the baking sheet from the oven and sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the roasted potatoes. Return the baking sheet to the oven for an additional 5 minutes or until the cheese has melted and formed a golden crust.
- Once the potatoes are done, remove them from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes. Sprinkle the chopped fresh parsley over the top for a vibrant finishing touch.
- Serve the Parmesan garlic roasted potatoes as a delicious side dish alongside your favorite main course. Enjoy!
Substitutions
- Potatoes — While Yukon Gold or Russet potatoes work best for this recipe, you can also use red potatoes or fingerling potatoes for a different texture and flavor.
- Grated parmesan cheese — If you don't have Parmesan cheese on hand, you can substitute it with grated Pecorino Romano or Asiago cheese for a similar savory taste.
- Fresh parsley — If you're not a fan of parsley, you can replace it with fresh chives or cilantro for a different herbaceous note.
Variations
- Spicy parmesan garlic roasted potatoes — For a kick of heat, add a pinch of red pepper flakes or cayenne pepper to the olive oil and garlic mixture before tossing the potatoes. The spicy element will add an exciting twist to the dish.
- Herb-roasted potatoes — Enhance the herbaceous flavors by adding a teaspoon of dried herbs such as rosemary, thyme, or oregano to the olive oil and garlic mixture. The combination of herbs will infuse the potatoes with a delightful aroma.
- Lemon parmesan roasted potatoes — Squeeze the juice of half a lemon over the roasted potatoes just before serving to add a refreshing citrusy tang. The acidity of the lemon will balance the richness of the Parmesan cheese.
Dietary Restrictions
- Gluten-free — This Parmesan garlic roasted potato recipe is naturally gluten-free, making it suitable for individuals with gluten sensitivities or celiac disease.
- Vegetarian — These roasted potatoes are vegetarian-friendly, as they do not contain any meat or animal by-products.
- Dairy-free — To make this recipe dairy-free, simply omit the grated Parmesan cheese or replace it with a dairy-free alternative, such as nutritional yeast or dairy-free cheese.
Equipment
- Baking sheet
- Parchment paper or cooking spray
- Large bowl
- Knife
- Cutting board
- Measuring spoons
Storage and Reheating
- Leftover Parmesan garlic roasted potatoes can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- To reheat, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the potatoes on a baking sheet and bake for about 10-15 minutes or until heated through.
- Note that the potatoes may not be as crispy upon reheating, but they will still be delicious.
Pro Tips
- Choosing the right potatoes — Opt for Yukon Gold or Russet potatoes as they have a higher starch content, resulting in a creamier interior and crispier exterior when roasted.
- Uniform potato cubes — Cut the potato cubes into similar sizes to ensure even cooking. This will prevent some pieces from becoming overly crispy while others remain undercooked.
- Don't overcrowd the baking sheet — Give the potato cubes enough space on the baking sheet to allow air circulation. Overcrowding can lead to steaming instead of roasting, resulting in less crispy potatoes.
- Adjust the seasoning — Feel free to adjust the amount of garlic, salt, and black pepper according to your taste preferences. Add more or less to suit your desired flavor profile.
- Serve with a dipping sauce — If desired, serve the Parmesan garlic roasted potatoes with a side of sour cream, Greek yogurt, or a tangy aioli for dipping.
