Roasted Potatoes

Roasted Parmesan Potatoes



This is my basic recipe for roasted potatoes.  It can be varied by type of potato, herbs, cheese and seasonings used.  Just use these general guidelines and you'll easily make the best roasted potato ever!

Roasted Parmesan Potatoes


Ingredients:

2 lb potatoes (anything you have...my personal favorite is the mini red potatoes)
3 T olive oil
1 t kosher salt
1/2 t cracked black pepper
2 T minced garlic
2 T grated parmesan cheese
2 T dried rosemary, Italian Seasoning, ranch seasoning and/or parsley (whatever you like...I used Italian Seasoning and parsley here)
1/4 C shaved parmesan cheese

Directions:

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.

Cut potatoes in quarters or halves (or chunks depending on the type of potato you use), making sure they are all about the same size.  Spread potatoes out on a baking sheet and pour olive oil over them.  Sprinkle on salt, pepper, garlic, cheese and dried herbs of choice (if using parsley, add it after cooking to avoid browning).  Toss with your hands to coat all the potatoes.  Make sure they are in an even layer.  Put the pan in the oven for about 45 minutes.  Flip the potatoes a few times during cooking so all sides get nice and crispy brown.

Remove from the oven and sprinkle with parsley and shaved parmesan cheese.
