Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).

  4. Drain the potatoes well and pat them completely dry with paper towels.
  5. In a large bowl, toss the dried potatoes with olive oil, Parmesan cheese, minced garlic, Italian seasoning (or your herb mix), salt, and pepper. Make sure the potatoes are evenly coated with the mixture.
  6. Spread the potatoes in a single layer on a large baking sheet. Don't overcrowd the pan.
  7. Bake for 30-40 minutes, or until the potatoes are golden brown and crispy, flipping halfway through.
  8. Remove the potatoes from the oven and garnish with fresh parsley (optional).
  9. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Notes

For extra crispy potatoes, soak them for a longer period (up to 2 hours) and ensure they are completely dry before roasting. Don't overcrowd the baking sheet to avoid steaming. Experiment with different herbs and spices to customize the flavor. Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated in the oven or a skillet. For Parmesan Garlic Roasted Potatoes with Rosemary, add 1-2 sprigs of fresh rosemary to the potato mixture before roasting. For Spicy Parmesan Roasted Potatoes, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the potato mixture for a little heat. You can prep the potatoes ahead of time by peeling, chopping, and soaking them. Store them in a bowl of cold water in the refrigerator until ready to roast.
