Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 4 medium potatoes, peeled and diced
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp dried rosemary (or thyme)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray.
- Prepare the Potatoes: Cut the potatoes into bite-sized cubes. Place them in a large bowl and toss with olive oil until evenly coated.
- Season the Potatoes: Add grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, rosemary, salt, and pepper to the bowl. Toss the potatoes again until they are fully coated in the seasoning mixture.
- Bake: Spread the seasoned potatoes evenly on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the potatoes are golden and crispy on the outside.
- Serve: Remove from the oven and garnish with fresh chopped parsley. Serve hot and enjoy!
Notes
- For extra crunch, use a broiler for the last 3-5 minutes of baking. Just keep an eye on the potatoes to prevent burning.
- If you prefer a dairy-free option, you can substitute the Parmesan cheese with a dairy-free alternative or nutritional yeast for a cheesy flavor.
- You can also add a squeeze of lemon juice for a burst of freshness after baking.
