Oven-Roasted Parmesan Herb Red Potatoes

Ingredients

- 2 pounds red petite potatoes
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Italian herbs
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
- Salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions

1. Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C). This will ensure that the potatoes cook evenly and develop a deliciously crispy exterior.

2. Prepare the Potatoes: Wash the red petite potatoes thoroughly to remove any dirt. Pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel. Cut each potato in half for quicker cooking and enhanced flavor absorption.

3. Season the Potatoes: Place the halved potatoes in a large mixing bowl. Drizzle with 3 tablespoons of olive oil, ensuring each piece is evenly coated. Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of Italian herbs over the potatoes. Add salt and black pepper to taste, mixing until each potato is well-seasoned.

4. Arrange for Roasting: Arrange the seasoned potatoes in a single layer on a large baking sheet. This will allow for even roasting and maximum crispiness. Avoid overcrowding the pan to ensure the potatoes roast rather than steam.

5. Roast the Potatoes: Place your baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast the potatoes for 30 minutes. About halfway through, give the potatoes a gentle toss to promote even browning.

6. Add Cheese: After 30 minutes, remove the baking sheet from the oven. Sprinkle the 1/2 cup of grated Parmesan cheese evenly over the potatoes. Return them to the oven for an additional 10 minutes, allowing the cheese to melt and form a golden crust.

7. Garnish and Serve: Once the potatoes are beautifully roasted and the Parmesan crust is golden brown, remove the baking sheet from the oven. Sprinkle the chopped fresh parsley over the hot potatoes for a burst of fresh flavor. Serve immediately while hot.
