Garlic Parmesan Roasted Red Potatoes

These Garlic Parmesan Roasted Red Potatoes are crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, seasoned perfectly with garlic, Parmesan, and fresh herbs. This simple and flavorful side dish is perfect for any meal.

Ingredients:

  • 1.5 lbs red potatoes, cut into bite-sized cubes
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme (optional)
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt (or to taste)
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions:

  1. Preheat Oven:

    • Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray.

  2. Prepare the Potatoes:

    • Wash and scrub the red potatoes. Cut them into uniform bite-sized cubes (around 1-inch pieces).
    • Pat the potatoes dry with a paper towel to ensure they roast evenly.

  3. Season the Potatoes:

    • In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, minced garlic, oregano, thyme (if using), salt, and pepper. Stir to combine.
    • Add the potato cubes to the bowl and toss to coat them evenly with the oil and seasoning mixture.

  4. Roast the Potatoes:

    • Spread the seasoned potatoes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
    • Roast in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, flipping the potatoes halfway through, until they are golden and crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.

  5. Add Parmesan:

    • Once the potatoes are roasted, remove them from the oven and sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese evenly over the hot potatoes.
    • Toss gently to coat the potatoes in the melted Parmesan.

  6. Serve:

    • Garnish the potatoes with chopped fresh parsley and serve immediately.

Tips:

  • Add a little kick: For a spicy variation, sprinkle crushed red pepper flakes over the potatoes before roasting.
  • Crispier potatoes: For extra crispiness, use parchment paper on your baking sheet instead of aluminum foil, as it helps the potatoes brown better.
  • Make it ahead: You can prepare the potatoes ahead of time and refrigerate them for a few hours before roasting. Just bring them to room temperature before baking.

These Garlic Parmesan Roasted Red Potatoes are a great side dish for chicken, steak, or even a vegetarian meal. Enjoy the savory garlic and cheesy goodness!
