Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium Yukon Gold potatoes
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 3 large Garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1.5 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons Grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
Wash and scrub the potatoes well, then cut them into 1-inch (2.5 cm) cubes for even cooking.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, minced garlic (use a garlic press or finely chop), paprika, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to create a flavorful seasoning mix.
Add the cubed potatoes into the bowl and toss until all the pieces are evenly coated in the mixture.
Spread the potatoes out in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are not overlapping for optimal crisping.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, flipping the potatoes halfway through to ensure golden-brown crispiness on all sides.
Once done baking, remove the potatoes from the oven and immediately drizzle them with fresh lemon juice for a tangy kick.
Sprinkle the chopped parsley over the warm potatoes for a burst of freshness. If using Parmesan cheese, sprinkle it over the potatoes while they are still hot to allow it to melt slightly.
Serve hot and enjoy your Perky Potatoes as a delightful side dish or a stand-alone treat!
