Ingredients
Scale
Potatoes
- 2 lbs baby potatoes, halved
Seasoning
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary
- 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Cheese and Garnish
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it to prevent sticking.
- Prepare the potatoes: In a large bowl, toss the halved baby potatoes with olive oil, minced garlic, dried rosemary, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper until all potatoes are evenly coated with the seasoning mixture.
- Roast the potatoes: Spread the seasoned potatoes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Roast for 25-30 minutes, stirring halfway through the cooking time to ensure even browning and that the potatoes become tender and golden.
- Add Parmesan: Remove the roasted potatoes from the oven and immediately sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over them. Toss gently so the cheese coats the warm potatoes, melting slightly for a delicious cheesy finish.
- Garnish and serve: Garnish the cheesy roasted potatoes with freshly chopped parsley. Serve immediately to enjoy the crispy texture and robust flavors.
Notes
- For extra crispiness, you can increase the oven temperature slightly or roast a bit longer but watch to avoid burning.
- Fresh herbs like rosemary and thyme can be used instead of dried, just use about one tablespoon each.
- These potatoes make an excellent side dish for grilled meats, roasted chicken, or as part of a vegetarian meal.
- Leftovers can be reheated in the oven to maintain crispness rather than using a microwave.
- You can substitute Parmesan with Pecorino Romano for a slightly sharper cheese flavor.
