These crispy, cheesy potatoes make a fantastic side dish that pairs well with just about any protein. The parmesan forms a golden crust that’s simply irresistible.
Prep time: 15 minutes | Cook time: 45-60 minutes | Serves: 4-6
Ingredients
· 4 medium russet potatoes, scrubbed and cut into 1-inch cubes
· 3 tbsp olive oil
· 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
· 1 tsp garlic powder
· 1 tsp dried oregano or Italian seasoning
· ½ tsp paprika
· Salt and black pepper to taste
· Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish, optional)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
- In a large bowl, toss potato cubes with olive oil until evenly coated.
- In a separate bowl, mix Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, oregano, paprika, salt, and pepper.
- Sprinkle the Parmesan mixture over the potatoes and toss well to coat evenly.
- Spread potatoes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake for 45-60 minutes, flipping halfway through, until potatoes are tender and the coating is golden and crisp.
- Garnish with fresh parsley if desired, and serve hot.
Tips for Success
· For extra crispiness, soak potato cubes in cold water for 20 minutes before drying and seasoning.
· Freshly grated Parmesan works better than pre-grated for a more even crust.
· Don’t overcrowd the baking sheet—this ensures proper crisping.
Enjoy these flavorful, cheesy potatoes as a satisfying side to roasted meats, grilled chicken, or even as a hearty snack on their own!
