Ingredients
Potatoes
- 3 lb new potatoes, quartered
Seasoning & Coating
- ¼ cup olive oil
- 2 tbsp cornstarch
- 1 tsp freshly ground black pepper
- 2 tsp kosher salt
- 1 tsp paprika
- 2 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 2 tsp minced fresh rosemary
Toppings
- ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). If your oven has a convection setting, use that at 425°F to get extra crispiness. Quarter the new potatoes into evenly sized pieces for uniform roasting.
- Prepare Seasoning Mixture: In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, cornstarch, freshly ground black pepper, kosher salt, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and minced fresh rosemary. Whisk or stir well to make sure all the spices and herbs are evenly distributed in the oil.
- Toss Potatoes: Add the quartered potatoes to the bowl with the seasoning mixture. Toss thoroughly until every piece of potato is well coated with the mixture and cornstarch, which helps create a crispy exterior.
- Arrange for Roasting: Spread the coated potatoes out on a parchment-lined baking sheet in a single layer, making sure they aren’t overcrowded to ensure even roasting and maximum crispiness.
- Roast Potatoes: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven. Roast the potatoes for 25-30 minutes, turning them once halfway through if desired. Roast until the potatoes are golden brown and crispy on the outside, while soft and creamy on the inside.
- Finish and Serve: Remove the roasted potatoes from the oven and transfer them to a serving dish. Immediately sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the hot potatoes so it melts slightly. Garnish with the optional chopped fresh parsley. Serve hot and enjoy!
Notes
- Using cornstarch helps achieve an extra crispy crust on the potatoes.
- If fresh rosemary is unavailable, dried rosemary can be used but reduce the amount to 1 teaspoon.
- Parmesan cheese adds a nice savory finish but can be omitted or substituted with a vegan cheese for dietary preferences.
- For a spicier kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the seasoning mix.
- Leftover potatoes can be stored in the refrigerator and reheated in the oven to retain crispiness.
