Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 lbs Yukon Gold potatoes
- 3 tbsp Olive oil
- 1 tsp Garlic powder
- 1 tsp Dried oregano
- 1 tsp Dried basil
- 0.5 tsp Crushed red pepper flakes
- 0.25 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper
- 2 tbsp Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.
Wash and scrub the Yukon Gold potatoes. Leave the skin on for extra texture and flavor, but remove any blemishes. Cut the potatoes into 1-inch cubes for even roasting.
In a large mixing bowl, toss the potato cubes with olive oil, ensuring they are evenly coated.
Add the garlic powder, dried oregano, dried basil, crushed red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper to the bowl. Mix well to thoroughly coat the potatoes in the seasoning mixture.
Spread the seasoned potatoes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Make sure they are not too crowded to ensure proper crisping.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for 35-40 minutes, flipping the potatoes halfway through cooking to promote even browning.
When the potatoes are golden and crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, remove them from the oven.
Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the hot potatoes, allowing the cheese to melt slightly.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley for an optional pop of color and freshness.
Serve immediately as a side dish to complement any main course, or enjoy them on their own!
