Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 4 medium potatoes, peeled and diced
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Seasoning:
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary (or thyme)
- Salt and pepper to taste
Cooking and Garnish:
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
- Thoroughly wash and dry potatoes, ensuring no moisture remains to achieve maximum crispiness.
- Slice potatoes into uniform, bite-sized cubes to guarantee even cooking and consistent texture.
- Drizzle olive oil generously over potato chunks, using hands to massage oil into every crevice, creating a perfect base for seasoning.
- Sprinkle Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, rosemary, salt, and pepper across potato surface, rotating bowl to distribute seasonings evenly and comprehensively.
- Arrange potato cubes on a parchment-lined baking sheet, ensuring minimal overlap to promote optimal browning and crisp edges.
- Position baking sheet in preheated oven at 425°F, allowing potatoes to transform into golden, crunchy morsels.
- Midway through cooking, carefully rotate potatoes using a spatula to ensure balanced caramelization and prevent burning.
- Once potatoes develop a rich, golden exterior and become fork-tender, remove from oven and let rest briefly.
- Garnish with freshly chopped parsley for a vibrant color burst and additional layer of flavor complexity.
- Serve immediately while potatoes maintain their irresistible crunch and warmth.
Notes
- Use medium-sized potatoes with smooth, unblemished skin for the most consistent texture and crispiness.
- Pat potatoes completely dry before adding oil to ensure maximum crunchiness and prevent soggy results.
- Avoid overcrowding the baking sheet to help potatoes crisp up evenly and develop beautiful golden edges.
- Substitute regular cheese with nutritional yeast for a vegan version that maintains delicious savory flavor.
