Ingredients
- 500 grams baby potatoes
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 large, minced garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon red chili flakes
- 2 teaspoons dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 50 grams, grated parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon (adjust to taste) salt
- 0.5 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons, chopped parsley
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
Wash and pat dry the baby potatoes. If they are larger than bite-sized, cut them in halves or quarters to ensure even cooking.
Step 3
In a large mixing bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, red chili flakes, dried oregano, dried basil, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.
Step 4
Add the potatoes to the bowl and toss until they are evenly coated with the spiced oil mixture.
Step 5
Spread the coated potatoes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are not overcrowded.
Step 6
Roast the potatoes in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, flipping them halfway through for even browning. They should be golden and crispy on the outside while soft on the inside.
Step 7
Once roasted, remove the potatoes from the oven and immediately sprinkle grated parmesan cheese over them. Toss gently to allow the cheese to melt slightly.
Step 8
Transfer the potatoes to a serving dish and garnish with freshly chopped parsley.
Step 9
Serve hot as a side dish or enjoy them on their own!
