Instructions:
Step 1: Preheat the Oven and Prepare the Potatoes
Start by preheating your oven to 425°F (220°C). This high heat will help achieve that perfect crispy texture.
Wash the potatoes thoroughly and pat them dry. There’s no need to peel them unless you prefer to. For extra crispiness, leave the skin on, as it helps lock in the flavor and adds texture.
Cut the potatoes into small wedges or cubes, depending on your preference. Just make sure the pieces are roughly the same size for even cooking.
Step 2: Season the Potatoes
In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, rosemary, salt, and black pepper. Mix everything together until the cheese and seasonings are evenly distributed. Add the potato wedges or cubes to the bowl and toss them well to coat each piece in the flavorful mixture.
Step 3: Roast the Potatoes
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray. Spread the seasoned potatoes out in a single layer on the baking sheet, making sure they aren’t overcrowded—this will help them crisp up better.
Roast the potatoes in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, flipping them halfway through. The potatoes should be golden brown and crispy on the outside, with a soft, fluffy interior. You can check doneness by poking a fork into the largest piece; if it goes through easily, they’re ready!
Step 4: Garnish and Serve
Once the potatoes are perfectly crispy, remove them from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes. For an extra pop of color and flavor, sprinkle the potatoes with fresh parsley just before serving.
Serve these Crispy Crunchy Parmesan Potatoes hot as a side dish, or enjoy them as a snack with your favorite dipping sauce, like ranch or ketchup.
