Components
- 1 1/2 pounds (680 grams) of little Yukon Gold potatoes or baby potatoes
- Two tsp olive oil
- 50g or half a cup of grated Parmesan cheese
- half a teaspoon of powdered garlic
- Half a teaspoon of powdered onion
- Half a teaspoon of rosemary or dried thyme
- One-fourth teaspoon of optional smoked paprika added for flavour
- To taste, add salt and black pepper.
- Two tablespoons of finely chopped fresh parsley (for garnish)
Guidelines
Step 1: Get the potatoes ready
- Set the oven’s temperature to 425°F (220°C). For easier cleanup, line a baking sheet with silicone baking mats or parchment paper.
- Cut the potatoes after giving them a good wash and scrub. Chop them into 1-inch bits that are bite-sized. Cut the baby potatoes in half if you’re using them.
Second Step: Coat and Season the Potatoes
- Toss with oil: Make sure the potato pieces are well coated by tossing them with olive oil in a big basin.
- Toss in the smoked paprika (if using), grated Parmesan cheese, onion and garlic powders, dried thyme, salt, and pepper in a small bowl. Once the potatoes are properly covered, sprinkle the mixture over them and toss again.
Third Step: Roast the Potatoes
- Spread the seasoned potatoes in a single layer on the baking sheet that has been preheated. To guarantee that the potatoes get crispy, make sure they are not packed too tightly.
- Bake: Bake the potatoes for 25 to 30 minutes in a preheated oven, or until they are crispy and golden brown. To guarantee uniform crispiness, turn the potatoes halfway through the baking process.
Step 4: Present and Garnish
- Garnish: Take the potatoes out of the oven and place them on a platter. Add freshly cut parsley as a garnish.
- Serve: As a snack or side dish, serve the hot crispy Parmesan potatoes. They go well with ranch or ketchup dips or just by themselves.
Advice and Techniques
- Before adding the potatoes, preheat the baking sheet in the oven for ten minutes to get extra crispiness. This aids in kicking off the crisping process immediately.
- Taste-testing: You are welcome to modify the seasoning to suit your preferences. To taste, you can add extra paprika, garlic powder, or herbs.
- Try various cheeses: Use Asiago or Pecorino Romano, two other hard cheeses, for a unique flavour.
In summary
- Delicious and mouthwatering, Crispy Crunchy Parmesan Potatoes are a great side dish to go with a range of main dishes. These potato skins are golden and crispy, and their flavour is cheesy and savoury. They will quickly become a family favourite.
