Instructions
Step 1: Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray.
Step 2: Prepare the Potatoes
Wash and scrub the potatoes thoroughly. Cut them into halves or quarters, depending on the size of the potatoes. Make sure the pieces are roughly uniform in size so they cook evenly.
Step 3: Season the Potatoes
In a large bowl, toss the cut potatoes with olive oil, ensuring they are evenly coated. Then add the grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, salt, and pepper. Toss everything together until the potatoes are well-coated in the seasoning mixture.
Step 4: Arrange on the Baking Sheet
Spread the seasoned potatoes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, making sure there is some space between each piece for optimal crisping.
Step 5: Bake
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the potatoes are golden brown and crispy on the edges. Halfway through the cooking time, flip the potatoes with a spatula to ensure they cook evenly.
Step 6: Serve
Once the potatoes are crispy and golden, remove them from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley if desired, and serve immediately.
Tips for the Perfect Crispy Parmesan Potatoes
- Cut Evenly: Make sure the potatoes are cut into uniform pieces to ensure they cook evenly.
- Use Fresh Parmesan: Grating fresh Parmesan cheese will yield better flavor and texture compared to pre-grated cheese.
- Crispier Potatoes: For extra crispiness, you can broil the potatoes for an additional 2-3 minutes at the end of the cooking time. Just be sure to watch them closely so they don’t burn.
- Herb Variations: Feel free to experiment with other herbs like thyme, rosemary, or basil for different flavor profiles.
- Add a Dip: Serve these crispy potatoes with a side of creamy ranch dressing, ketchup, or garlic aioli for extra flavor.
