Parmesan and Herb Roasted Potatoes
Description
This recipe starts with halved potatoes coated in olive oil and a seasoning blend including Italian herbs, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Initial roasting at 400°F softens the potatoes before adding finely grated Parmesan. The final bake allows the cheese to brown lightly without burning, yielding a crisp, flavorful crust.
The result is potatoes with tender interiors and a slightly crispy exterior, enhanced by the nutty flavor of Parmesan and aromatic herbs. Fresh parsley sprinkled on top provides a mild herbal contrast and color.
Serving these warm complements many dishes, like roasted meats or grilled vegetables. Using Yukon Gold or baby potatoes helps achieve a creamy center that contrasts with the golden outer layer.
Ingredients
- 3 pounds potato halved (Yukon Gold potatoes or your favorite roasting potato may be substituted, baby dutch yellow variety
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
- 2 teaspoons garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon salt or to taste
- 1 teaspoon black pepper or to taste
- ⅓ cup Parmesan Cheese finely grated
- 2 tablespoons parsley chopped, fresh leaves
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400F, line a baking sheet with a Silpat or line with aluminum foil for easier cleanup.
- To the baking sheet, add the potatoes, evenly drizzle with olive oil, and evenly sprinkle with Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt, pepper, and toss potatoes with hands to coat evenly.
- Bake for 5 to 10 minutes. Baking briefly before adding the cheese ensures the potatoes will cook through before the cheese burns.
- Remove pan from the oven, evenly sprinkle with the parmesan, and bake for another 25 to 30 minutes, or until lightly golden brown, fork-tender, and done.
- Garnish with parsley before serving. Potatoes are best warm and fresh.
