Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 lbs small red potatoes
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tbsp fresh rosemary, chopped
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1 tsp salt
- 0.5 tsp black pepper
- 0.25 cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Thoroughly wash and scrub the red potatoes; no need to peel them. Pat them dry with a kitchen towel.
Cut the potatoes into bite-size pieces, approximately 1 inch in size, ensuring uniform cuts for even cooking.
Transfer the potatoes to a large mixing bowl. Add the olive oil, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Toss until the potatoes are evenly coated with the seasoning.
Spread the potatoes out in a single layer on a large baking sheet. Avoid overcrowding the pan, as this can result in steaming rather than roasting.
Place the potatoes in the preheated oven and roast for 35-40 minutes, flipping them halfway through. The potatoes should be golden brown and crispy on the outside while tender when pierced with a fork.
If using Parmesan cheese, sprinkle it over the potatoes during the last 5 minutes of roasting to allow it to melt and become slightly crispy.
Remove the potatoes from the oven and transfer them to a serving dish. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
Serve immediately and enjoy these flavorful roasted potatoes as a side dish to complement your main course.
