Ingredients
2 pounds baby or new potatoes, halved or quartered
3 tablespoons olive oil
4 cloves garlic, finely minced
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika (optional)
1/2 teaspoon dried Italian herbs or oregano
3/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease with oil.
2. Wash and thoroughly dry the potatoes. Cut into halves or quarters.
3. In a mixing bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, salt, pepper, paprika, and herbs. Toss potatoes to coat.
4. Add half of the Parmesan cheese to the bowl and mix again.
5. Arrange potatoes cut-side down on the baking sheet without crowding.
6. Roast for 25–30 minutes, flipping halfway. Cook until crispy and golden brown.
7. Remove from oven and immediately sprinkle remaining Parmesan and drizzle with melted butter.
8. Toss gently, garnish with fresh parsley, and serve hot.
Notes
Use freshly grated Parmesan for the best melt and texture.
Always dry the potatoes before roasting to ensure maximum crispiness.
Don’t overcrowd the pan—use two trays if needed for even browning.
