Ingredients
Scale
- 2 lbs baby potatoes (or Yukon Gold, Russet)
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter (melted)
- 3 cloves garlic (minced)
- ½ cup Parmesan cheese (freshly grated)
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
- 1 tsp salt
- ½ tsp black pepper
- ½ tsp paprika
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley (chopped, for garnish)
Instructions
- Prepare the Potatoes: Wash and scrub the potatoes. If using baby potatoes, halve them. Cut larger potatoes into evenly sized wedges or cubes.
- Preheat the Oven: Set the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or grease it lightly.
- Season the Potatoes: In a large bowl, mix olive oil, melted butter, minced garlic, Italian seasoning, salt, black pepper, and paprika. Toss the potatoes in the mixture to coat evenly.
- Coat with Parmesan: Add the freshly grated Parmesan cheese and mix again, ensuring even coverage.
- Arrange on Baking Sheet: Spread the potatoes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet without overcrowding.
- Bake Until Golden: Bake for 35-40 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the potatoes are golden brown and crispy on the edges.
- Garnish and Serve: Remove from the oven, sprinkle with extra Parmesan and fresh parsley, and serve immediately.
Notes
- Spicy Kick: Add red pepper flakes or cayenne pepper for heat.
- Extra Cheesy: Mix in mozzarella or cheddar for added cheesiness.
- Herb Infusion: Try rosemary, thyme, or oregano for a different flavor profile.
