Parmesan Garlic Roasted Potatoes

Storage and Reheating Tips

If you have leftovers (which is rare because they’re so good!), store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. To reheat, simply place them in a 375°F (190°C) oven for 10-12 minutes, or until they’re crispy and heated through. Avoid microwaving, as it can make the potatoes soggy.

Tips for Perfect Parmesan Garlic Roasted Potatoes

• Use small potatoes: Baby potatoes or Yukon Gold potatoes work best for this recipe because they roast quickly and develop a nice crispy texture.
• Don’t overcrowd the pan: For the crispiest potatoes, make sure they’re spread out in a single layer with some space between them. Overcrowding can cause them to steam instead of roast.
• Add the Parmesan halfway: For an extra crispy Parmesan crust, you can add half the cheese before roasting and the rest halfway through cooking.

Flavor Variations and Add-Ons

• Spicy Parmesan Potatoes: Add a pinch of red pepper flakes or a dash of cayenne pepper to the seasoning mix for a spicy kick.
• Herb Lovers’ Potatoes: Mix in fresh herbs like rosemary, thyme, or oregano for an extra layer of flavor. You can also garnish with fresh basil or dill after roasting.
• Lemon Garlic Potatoes: Add a tablespoon of fresh lemon juice or lemon zest to the potatoes for a bright and tangy twist.

FAQs About Parmesan Garlic Roasted Potatoes

1. Can I use other types of potatoes?
Yes! While baby potatoes and Yukon Gold are preferred for their creamy texture and quick roasting time, you can use Russet potatoes or red potatoes as well. Just make sure to chop them into similar-sized pieces for even cooking.

2. Can I make these potatoes ahead of time?
Absolutely. You can prep the potatoes ahead by tossing them in the seasoning and storing them in the fridge for up to 24 hours before roasting. You can also roast them ahead and reheat in the oven for about 10 minutes before serving.

3. How do I make them extra crispy?
For extra crispy potatoes, make sure to dry the potatoes thoroughly after washing them. You can also increase the oven temperature to 425°F (220°C) for the last 5-10 minutes of roasting.
