Cuisine: Italian
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 2 pounds red potatoes, quartered
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons fresh rosemary, chopped
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Wash red potatoes thoroughly and cut them into uniform quarter-sized pieces, ensuring each piece is approximately 1-
- 5 inches in size for even cooking.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine olive oil, chopped fresh rosemary, grated Parmesan cheese, salt, and black pepper. Whisk the ingredients together until well combined.
- Add quartered potatoes to the seasoning mixture, tossing gently to ensure each potato piece is evenly coated with the herb and cheese mixture.
- Spread the seasoned potatoes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are not overcrowded to allow proper roasting and crispy edges.
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for 25-30 minutes, turning the potatoes halfway through cooking to ensure even browning and crispiness.
- Check potatoes for doneness by piercing with a fork. They should be golden brown on the outside and tender on the inside.
- Remove from oven and let rest for 2-3 minutes. Optionally, sprinkle additional fresh rosemary and Parmesan cheese on top before serving.
- Transfer to a serving dish and enjoy hot as a delicious side dish.
Tips
- • Choose medium-sized red potatoes for the best texture and even cooking. • Cut potatoes into uniform sizes to ensure consistent roasting. • Don't overcrowd the baking sheet – give each potato piece space to crisp up. • Use fresh rosemary if possible for the most vibrant flavor. • For extra crispiness, pat the potato pieces dry before seasoning. • Turn the potatoes halfway through cooking to achieve golden-brown perfection. • Let the potatoes rest for a few minutes after roasting to help them crisp up even more. • Serve immediately for the best taste and texture.
