Ingredients

Scale

The key to this dish lies in selecting the right ingredients — fresh, high-quality potatoes and freshly grated parmesan make all the difference. I always choose Yukon Gold potatoes for their creamy texture and natural sweetness, which balances the salty cheese perfectly. When it comes to parmesan, freshly grated beats the pre-shredded kind every time, giving you that rich, nutty flavor and better melting. Olive oil helps achieve a crisp exterior without being greasy, and a touch of garlic powder brings everything together with gentle warmth.

  • 2 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes, washed and cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 1/3 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon dried Italian herbs (oregano, basil, thyme mix)
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it to prevent sticking.
  2. In a large bowl, toss the cubed Yukon Gold potatoes with olive oil, garlic powder, dried Italian herbs, salt, and pepper until each piece is evenly coated.
  3. Spread the potatoes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Make sure they aren’t overcrowded — this helps them crisp up nicely.
  4. Bake for 20 minutes, then remove the tray and carefully flip each potato piece using a spatula or tongs. This ensures even browning on all sides.
  5. Sprinkle the freshly grated Parmesan evenly over the potatoes and return the tray to the oven. Bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are golden brown and the parmesan crust is crispy.
  6. Remove from the oven and let the potatoes rest for 5 minutes. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley if desired, and serve warm.
