Ingredients

• 2 pounds baby potatoes, halved
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish (optional)

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Season the potatoes. In a large bowl, toss the halved potatoes with olive oil, minced garlic, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
3. Arrange for crispiness. Spread the potatoes cut-side down in a single layer on the baking sheet — this is the key step for maximum crispiness.
4. Roast. Roast for 25-30 minutes, until the potatoes are golden brown and crispy on the bottom, and easily pierced with a fork.
5. Add the Parmesan. Remove from the oven, sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese evenly over the hot potatoes, and return to the oven for 3-5 minutes until the cheese is melted and slightly golden.
6. Garnish and serve. Sprinkle with fresh chopped parsley before serving.
