How To Make Parmesan-Crusted Roasted Potatoes

Pop 'em in the oven and bake for 25-30 minutes until they're nice and tender. Easy peasy, right?

Ingredients

POTATOES:

• Gold potatoes. Cut into halves. I like to use small Yukon potatoes or similar ones.
• Extra virgin olive oil. Feel free to use your favorite high-quality EVOO. My fave tried and trusted brand is California Olive Ranch.
• Herbs + seasonings. Sea salt, black pepper, smoked paprika, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder + dried thyme.
• Unsalted butter. Melted --- This is what is going to give the potatoes their perfect crispy outer. I love using organic butter from Organic Valley.
• Parmesan cheese. The delicious cheesy star of the show. make sure it's freshly grated.

Tips for PERFECTLY CRISPY Parmesan-Crusted Roasted Potatoes

These are my top tips to make sure your Parmesan-Crusted Roasted Potatoes are as crisp as possible:

• Cut the potatoes to equal sizes as much as possible. This way, they cook at the same rate. In this case, you’ll be cutting them rather large into halves.
• Don’t be afraid to season well!
• Let the oven come fully to a temperature before you add the potatoes to the oven. It needs to be a nice and hot environment.
• Don't skimp on the parmesan!!! The parmesan cheese adds flavor and helps create a crispy crust, so be generous when coating the potatoes.
• Serve immediately. For the crispiest results, serve the roasted potatoes immediately after they come out of the oven.

Dipping these potatoes is optional but if you like dipping like i do I highly recommend serving these potatoes with any of the following:

• Ketchup

• BBQ sauce

• Creamy Avocado Pesto Mayo Sauce
• Green Goddess Dressing
• Vegan Ranch Sauce

How To Serve Parmesan-Herb Crusted Roasted Potatoes

These homemade crusted potatoes are so incredibly tasty that they can stand tall as a delicious snack all by themselves. They're a crunchy and satisfying treat that will have you reaching for more.

But if you want a little more, consider pairing them with these options:

• Serve the potatoes alongside your favorite main course, such as chicken, steak, lamb or fish.
• With breakfast: ---Serve the potatoes as a savory side dish with breakfast favorites like eggs + bacon.
• Enjoy the potatoes alongside sandwiches or burgers.

Can I Air Fry Parmesan Crusted Potatoes?

Absolutely! While I initially made these fries in the oven, they're also a perfect fit for your air fryer. Air fryers tend to run hotter and offer better air circulation, so your homemade fries might need a slightly shorter cook time. To make cleanup a breeze and prevent sticking, I recommend lining the air fryer basket with baking paper before adding the potatoes. This will ensure easy cleaning and perfectly crispy results every time!
