Ingredients

Main Ingredients

2 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes Can substitute with red or russet potatoes.
4 cloves fresh garlic, minced Use garlic powder in a pinch, but fresh is best.
1 cup fresh grated Parmesan cheese For a better melt and browning effect.
1/4 cup olive oil Melted butter can also be used.

Seasonings

1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning Paprika can be added for color.

Optional Toppings

2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped For garnish.
to taste crushed red pepper Adds heat.

Method

Preparation

Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
Prepare a large sheet pan with a light oil coating or line with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
Chop the potatoes into bite-sized chunks and toss them with olive oil, salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning in a large mixing bowl. Mix in half of the Parmesan.

Cooking

Spread the potatoes on the sheet pan in a single layer and roast for 20 minutes.
Flip the potatoes and continue roasting for another 15 to 20 minutes until golden and tender.
In the last 5 to 7 minutes of roasting, toss the potatoes with the minced garlic and the remaining Parmesan cheese and return to the oven.

Serve

Once done, taste the potatoes and adjust salt as needed. Garnish with chopped parsley if desired.

Notes

For best results, keep some tips in mind: chop the potatoes into uniform sizes, do not overcrowd the pan to avoid steaming, and dry the potatoes properly before oiling them. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 4 days.
