Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams baby potatoes
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 large, minced garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon red chili flakes
- 2 teaspoons dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 50 grams, grated parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon (adjust to taste) salt
- 0.5 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons, chopped parsley
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Wash and pat dry the baby potatoes. If they are larger than bite-sized, cut them in halves or quarters to ensure even cooking.
In a large mixing bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, red chili flakes, dried oregano, dried basil, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.
Add the potatoes to the bowl and toss until they are evenly coated with the spiced oil mixture.
Spread the coated potatoes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are not overcrowded.
Roast the potatoes in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, flipping them halfway through for even browning. They should be golden and crispy on the outside while soft on the inside.
Once roasted, remove the potatoes from the oven and immediately sprinkle grated parmesan cheese over them. Toss gently to allow the cheese to melt slightly.
Transfer the potatoes to a serving dish and garnish with freshly chopped parsley.
Serve hot as a side dish or enjoy them on their own!
