Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 pounds baby potatoes or Yukon Gold, halved or quartered
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon fine sea salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano optional
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika optional
  • Garlic butter Parmesan finish
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 4 cloves garlic grated or minced
  • 1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 tablespoons chopped parsley optional
  • 1 to 2 teaspoons lemon juice optional

Method
 

  1. Prep. Heat oven to 425F. Line a sheet pan with parchment.
  2. Season. Toss potatoes with olive oil, salt, pepper, and any optional seasonings.
  3. Roast. Spread potatoes out in a single layer, cut side down. Roast 30 to 35 minutes, flipping once, until deeply golden and crisp.
  4. Make garlic butter. While potatoes roast, melt butter in a small pan over low heat. Add garlic and cook 30 to 60 seconds just until fragrant. Turn off heat.
  5. Toss. Transfer hot potatoes to a bowl. Pour garlic butter over the top and toss. Add Parmesan and toss again until it sticks. Add parsley and a squeeze of lemon if using.
  6. Serve. Serve immediately while crispy.

Notes

For maximum crisp, keep potatoes in a single layer and avoid overcrowding the pan.
Add the Parmesan after roasting so it melts onto the potatoes instead of burning on the pan.
