Recipe preparation for Roasted Potatoes {with Parmesan Garlic and Herbs}

How to Make Roasted Potatoes {with Parmesan Garlic and Herbs}

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup. This way, you can focus on enjoying the cooking process instead of stressing about scrubbing dishes.

Prepare the Potatoes: Rinse the baby potatoes under cold water and pat them dry. Cut larger ones in half so they roast evenly, keeping their skins intact for added texture.

Toss with Olive Oil and Seasonings: In a large bowl, combine the potatoes with olive oil, minced garlic, salt, pepper, and chopped herbs. Toss well until each potato is well coated in that delicious mixture.

Add Parmesan Cheese: Sprinkle freshly grated Parmesan over the seasoned potatoes. Use your hands to gently mix again—this helps ensure every potato gets its cheesy goodness.

Roast Until Golden Brown: Spread the potatoes out in a single layer on your prepared baking sheet. Roast them in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until they’re golden brown and fork-tender. Give them a toss halfway through so they brown evenly.

Serve Hot!: Remove from the oven when they look irresistible. Serve immediately while warm for that perfect crunch! Enjoy alongside your favorite protein or just on their own—trust me; they won’t last long!

Now that you’ve unlocked this culinary treasure trove of roasted potatoes with Parmesan garlic and herbs, share them with loved ones! Each bite promises laughter around the table as everyone fights over those crispy edges—because let’s be honest; we all know those are where it’s at!
