Ingredients for Roasted Garlic Parmesan Potatoes
- Yukon Gold Potatoes: The creamy texture and almost buttery flavor make Yukon Gold potatoes the perfect choice for this recipe.
- Extra Virgin Olive Oil: Any good quality extra virgin olive oil will help the outside of the potatoes cook and become nice and crispy.
- Garlic Powder
- Dried Basil
- Grated Parmesan Cheese: Use good quality parmesan cheese for a subtle nutty flavor. Try to avoid overly processed parmesan. If you can get parmesan in bulk to grate yourself, even better!
- Salt and Pepper
How to make Roasted Garlic Parmesan Potatoes
- Preheat: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
- Prep the potatoes: Rinse and dry the potatoes, then quarter them lengthwise. Finally, cut the potatoes into 1/2-inch slices.
- Toss: In a large bowl, add the potatoes, olive oil, parmesan cheese, basil, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Toss to evenly coat the potatoes.
- Roast: Spray a 15×9 cooking dish with non-stick spray. Evenly distribute the potatoes in a single layer in the dish, taking care not to overcrowd the potatoes. Roast until golden brown and crisp.
Tips
- Try using minced or pressed garlic for a stronger garlic flavor.
- Use more garlic powder or add Italian seasoning for enhanced flavor.
- For less crispy potatoes, shorten the cooking time to 30-minutes.
- Use an oversized bowl for mixing the ingredients because it’s easier mixing when you don’t have to worry about launching ingredients out of a too-small bowl!
- Don’t overcrowd the baking dish. Make sure the potatoes have enough room to become crispy. If the potatoes are stacked on top of each other they will likely steam instead of become crisp.
- Make sure your oven is hot enough. The key to crispy potatoes is a HOT oven. If the oven temperature is too low, it will take too long for the outside to get brown and the inside will become mushy rather than creamy.
Variations and Substitutions
- You can substitute any type of potato for this recipe. My preference is the Yukon Gold potato because of the luscious texture of the finished dish. If you use a different potato, begin checking them after 30-minutes as cooking time may vary.
Storage
Store any leftovers in a sealed, airtight container and refrigerate for up to about 3 days. Reheat in the oven or in an air fryer to restore the crispiness!
