🥔 Crispy Garlic Parmesan Potatoes
Ingredients
- 1 kg baby potatoes, halved
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- ½ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
- 1 tsp paprika
- ½ tsp salt
- ½ tsp black pepper
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
- Optional: ¼ tsp chili flakes
👩🍳 Instructions
1. Preheat oven: Heat oven to 220°C (425°F). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Prepare potatoes: Wash and halve the potatoes. Pat them very dry—this helps them become extra crispy.
3. Make the Parmesan mixture: In a bowl, combine Parmesan, olive oil, garlic, Italian seasoning, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
4. Coat the potatoes: Add the potatoes and toss thoroughly until well coated.
5. Arrange: Place the potatoes cut-side down on the baking sheet. Make sure they aren’t overcrowded.
6. Bake: Roast for 30–40 minutes, until deeply golden and crispy on the bottom and tender inside.
7. Finish: Let them cool for 2–3 minutes, then carefully lift them from the pan. Sprinkle with fresh parsley and extra Parmesan.
⭐ Tips for Extra Crispy Potatoes
Dry the potatoes thoroughly before seasoning.
Use freshly grated Parmesan for the best crust.
Don’t overcrowd the baking sheet.
Keep the potatoes cut-side down while baking.
For even more crunch, broil for 1–2 minutes at the end, watching carefully.
