Make these potatoes with a perfectly crisp exterior and a fluffy, tender center. Richard remembers the best roasted potatoes from our travels, and this recipe captures that perfect texture for you to enjoy.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 lbs small potatoes (like Yukon Gold or new potatoes)
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1/2 cup finely grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
  2. Wash and dry the potatoes well. Cut any larger potatoes in half so they are uniform in size.
  3. Place the cut potatoes in a large bowl. Drizzle with olive oil and toss to coat evenly.
  4. Spread the potatoes in a single layer on a baking sheet. Do not overcrowd the pan; use two sheets if necessary for maximum crispness.
  5. Roast for 25 minutes.
  6. While roasting, mix the grated Parmesan cheese, salt, pepper, and garlic powder together in a small bowl.
  7. Carefully remove the baking sheet from the oven. Sprinkle the Parmesan mixture evenly over the potatoes. Gently toss the potatoes on the pan to coat them with the cheese.
  8. Return the potatoes to the oven and roast for another 15 to 20 minutes, or until the potatoes are deeply golden brown and the Parmesan crust is crispy.
  9. Serve immediately and enjoy the crunch!

Notes

  • Drying the potatoes well before oiling is key to getting a crispy crust.
  • For an extra layer of flavor, add 1/2 teaspoon of dried rosemary to the cheese mixture.
  • Do not skip the step of tossing the potatoes once the cheese is added; this helps the Parmesan adhere and crisp up properly.
