Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Fresh rosemary
- 3 whole Garlic cloves
- 1 quarter cup Grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon Crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
- 1 tablespoon Chopped parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
Wash and scrub the Yukon Gold potatoes thoroughly. Pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel.
Cut the potatoes into 1-inch cubes, ensuring they are roughly the same size to ensure even cooking.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cubed potatoes, olive oil, chopped fresh rosemary, minced garlic, salt, pepper, and crushed red pepper flakes (if using). Toss until all the potatoes are evenly coated.
Spread the potatoes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Make sure they are well spaced and not overcrowded to allow for proper roasting.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast the potatoes for 25 minutes. After this, remove the baking sheet and carefully flip the potatoes using a spatula to ensure even browning.
Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese evenly over the potatoes and return the baking sheet to the oven. Roast for an additional 15 minutes, or until the potatoes are golden brown, crispy on the outside, and tender on the inside.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the potatoes cool for a couple of minutes. Optional: Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
Serve the Italian Style Roasted Potatoes warm as a side dish to your favorite main course.
