Ingredients

Scale

Potatoes

  • 2 pounds Russet or Yukon Gold potatoes, scrubbed and cut into 1 to 1.5 inch cubes

Seasonings and Flavorings

  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 2 teaspoons fresh rosemary, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped

Cheese

  • ½ cup finely grated Parmesan cheese, plus extra for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare Your Pan: Set your oven to 425°F (220°C) to ensure it’s hot enough for beautifully crispy edges. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil to prevent sticking.
  2. Wash and Cut the Potatoes: Scrub your potatoes clean and cut them into small, even cubes — about 1 to 1.5 inches — so they cook uniformly and develop a satisfying crunch.
  3. Season and Toss: In a large mixing bowl, combine the potato cubes with olive oil, minced garlic, salt, pepper, fresh herbs, and grated Parmesan. Toss everything gently to coat each potato piece evenly with flavors.
  4. Arrange and Bake: Spread the potatoes out in a single layer on your baking sheet without overcrowding. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, turning halfway through to get an even golden crisp all around.
  5. Final Touch and Serve: Once the potatoes are crisp and golden, you can add a little extra handful of Parmesan or a sprinkle of fresh herbs on top for that beautiful finishing touch. Serve immediately for best texture and flavor.

Notes

  • Use room temperature potatoes to help them cook more evenly and achieve a better crispy texture.
  • Don’t overcrowd the pan; give each potato space to roast properly and develop crispiness rather than steaming.
  • Add fresh herbs near the end to preserve their aroma and prevent bitterness from overcooking.
  • Grate your own Parmesan cheese for better melting and enhanced flavor compared to pre-grated varieties.
  • Turn the potatoes halfway during baking to ensure all sides become crispy and golden brown.
