  • Total Time: 50 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale

Potatoes

  • 1.5 pounds Yukon Gold or red potatoes, washed and cut into evenly sized cubes or wedges

Garlic Butter

  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 4 garlic cloves, finely minced

Cheese and Seasoning

  • 1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste

Garnish

  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Potatoes: Wash and dry your potatoes thoroughly, then cut them into evenly sized cubes or wedges. Ensuring consistency in size helps the potatoes roast evenly, resulting in a crunchy outside with a tender inside.
  2. Melt the Garlic Butter: In a small saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over medium-low heat. Add the finely minced garlic and cook gently until fragrant and golden, making sure not to burn it to avoid bitterness.
  3. Toss Potatoes with Butter and Parmesan: Place the cut potatoes in a large bowl. Pour the warm garlic butter over them, then sprinkle in the freshly grated Parmesan cheese along with salt and black pepper. Toss everything together until the potatoes are thoroughly coated.
  4. Roast Until Crispy: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Arrange the potatoes in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet lined with parchment paper for easy cleanup. Roast for 30-35 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crispy on the edges.
  5. Garnish and Serve: Once out of the oven, sprinkle the chopped fresh parsley over the potatoes to add color and fresh flavor. Serve immediately while piping hot.

Notes

  • Use room temperature butter to help evenly infuse garlic flavor and better coat potatoes.
  • Do not overcrowd the baking sheet to ensure potatoes roast evenly and become crisp rather than steamed.
  • For a creamier interior, parboil potatoes in boiling water for 5 minutes before roasting.
  • Freshly grate the Parmesan cheese, as pre-grated versions may contain additives that affect melting and crisping.
  • Flip the potatoes halfway through roasting for even golden browning and perfect crispness.
