Crispy Parmesan Roasted Potatoes

1. Preheat the Oven

Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.

2. Prep the Potatoes

• Wash and dry the potatoes thoroughly (no need to peel).

• Cut them in half lengthwise. This creates a flat surface for maximum crispiness.

   

• Pat the cut side dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture (helps with crisping).

3. Season the Parmesan Mixture

In a small bowl, mix together:

• Parmesan cheese

• Paprika, Italian herbs, salt, and pepper

• Optionally add garlic, chili flakes, or lemon zest

   

4. Prepare the Pan

• Pour olive oil or melted butter evenly over the baking tray.

• Sprinkle the Parmesan herb mixture evenly across the oiled surface.

• Place each potato cut side down on top of the cheese mixture.

   

• Press gently to ensure the potatoes make full contact with the cheesy layer.

5. Bake
