Garlic Parmesan Roasted Potatoes (Print-Friendly Version)

Crispy red potatoes with garlic, herbs, and parmesan. Simple, savory, and crowd-pleasing for any occasion.

# What You Need:

→ Main Ingredients

01 - 2 pounds red potatoes, quartered
02 - 3 tablespoons olive oil
03 - 4 cloves garlic, minced
04 - 1 teaspoon dried oregano
05 - 1 teaspoon kosher salt
06 - 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
07 - 1 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese, divided
08 - 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley, for garnish

# How to Make It:

01 - Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly grease a large baking or casserole dish with cooking spray.
02 - In a large mixing bowl, toss the quartered potatoes with olive oil, minced garlic, oregano, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.
03 - Sprinkle half of the grated parmesan over the potatoes and gently toss again to distribute the cheese evenly.
04 - Transfer the potatoes to the prepared dish, arranging them in a mostly single layer for even cooking.
05 - Cover the dish tightly with aluminum foil and bake for 20 minutes to allow the potatoes to become tender.
06 - Remove the foil carefully, then sprinkle the remaining parmesan cheese evenly over the potatoes.
07 - Return the dish to the oven and bake uncovered for an additional 20 minutes until golden and crispy.
08 - Remove from oven and immediately sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley. Serve hot for best texture.

# Important Notes:

01 - Pat potatoes completely dry before roasting to ensure optimal crispiness.
02 - Heating the baking dish during oven preheating enhances the crispy base.
03 - Red potatoes retain shape better and provide creamy interiors when roasted.
04 - Broil for 2 minutes at the end for an extra golden top, watching closely to avoid burning.
05 - Prep potatoes up to 24 hours ahead by storing them in cold water in the refrigerator.
