Crispy Parmesan Garlic Roasted Potatoes Ingredients
- 1 1/2 lbs Yukon Gold potatoes, washed and cut into 1-inch wedges
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp dried rosemary
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- Fresh parsley for garnish
How to Make Crispy Parmesan Garlic Roasted Potatoes
- 1
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Toss the potato wedges in a large bowl with olive oil, minced garlic, paprika, rosemary, salt, and pepper. Toss thoroughly so every piece is coated.
- 2
Spread the potatoes in a single layer on a large baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Avoid overcrowding the pan, as this steams the potatoes rather than roasting them.
- 3
Roast for 25 minutes, then remove the pan. Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese evenly over the potatoes. Return to the oven and roast for another 10-15 minutes until the edges are golden and crispy.
- 4
Remove from the oven and let cool for 2 minutes. Sprinkle with fresh chopped parsley and serve immediately while hot.
Chef's Tips
- Bloom aromatics for 30–60 seconds before adding liquids to unlock deeper flavor in Crispy Parmesan Garlic Roasted Potatoes.
- Cook the main protein or core ingredient in batches if needed—overcrowding lowers pan heat and prevents proper browning.
- Reserve a small amount of cooking liquid to adjust texture at the end and keep the final result glossy, not dry.
- Finish with contrast: add a fresh element (herbs/citrus/crunch) right before serving to sharpen the overall flavor profile.
