Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large Russet potatoes
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon Dried basil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 cup Mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 as needed Non-stick cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Wash and peel the potatoes. Cut them into 1-inch cubes and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel to remove excess moisture.
In a large mixing bowl, toss the potato cubes with olive oil, garlic powder, dried oregano, dried basil, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.
Lightly spray a large baking sheet with non-stick cooking spray. Spread the seasoned potatoes onto the baking sheet in a single layer.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, flipping the potatoes halfway through to ensure even cooking.
After 30 minutes, remove the baking sheet from the oven and sprinkle the parmesan and mozzarella cheeses evenly over the potatoes.
Return the baking sheet to the oven and bake for an additional 8-10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Once baked, remove the potatoes from the oven and let them cool slightly for 2-3 minutes.
Transfer the cheesy potatoes to a serving platter and garnish with freshly chopped parsley.
Serve warm as a side dish and enjoy!
