Ingredients

Scale

Potatoes

  • 2 pounds Yukon Gold or red potatoes, washed and cut into evenly sized cubes or wedges

Seasoning & Coating

  • 1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Optional Garnish

  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, finely chopped

Instructions

  1. Prep Your Potatoes: Start by washing and drying your potatoes thoroughly. Cut them into evenly sized cubes or wedges so they cook uniformly and crisp up perfectly.
  2. Toss with Flavor: In a large bowl, combine your potatoes with olive oil, grated Parmesan, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Toss until every piece is evenly coated for maximum flavor and crispiness.
  3. Arrange on Baking Sheet: Lay the potatoes out in a single layer on a lined baking sheet, ensuring they have enough room. Crowded potatoes will steam instead of crisp.
  4. Bake to Golden Perfection: Bake in a preheated oven at 425°F (220°C) for about 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through to ensure even browning and crisp texture.
  5. Garnish and Serve: Once baked, sprinkle fresh chopped parsley over the potatoes for a pop of color and serve immediately to enjoy that irresistible crunch.

Notes

  • Dry potatoes well: Moisture keeps potatoes from crisping, so pat them thoroughly dry before seasoning.
  • Use high heat: Baking at 425°F ensures a crispy crust without drying out the inside.
  • Flip halfway: Turning potatoes mid-bake promotes even crisping and golden edges all around.
  • Grate Parmesan fresh: Freshly grated cheese melts and crisps better than pre-shredded varieties.
  • Don’t overcrowd the pan: Give potatoes space so hot air can circulate and crisp every piece.
