Let’s be real: the main course is fine. But these potatoes? These potatoes are the reason people come back for seconds.
Crispy on the outside. Pillowy on the inside. Coated in salty Parmesan and garlic. Roasted until the bottoms form a crunchy, cheesy golden crust. They’re the side dish that never makes it home in leftovers. Make a double batch. Trust me.
Step-by-Step Instructions
Preheat and Prep
Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper (not foil—potatoes will stick).
Coat the Potatoes
In a large bowl, toss potatoes with olive oil, garlic, salt, pepper, and oregano (if using).
Add Parmesan and toss again until coated.
Roast Until Crispy
Spread potatoes in a single layer on the baking sheet.
Roast for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden brown and crispy on the edges.
For extra crunch, broil for 1-2 minutes at the end.
Serve
Garnish with fresh parsley.
Serve immediately while hot and crunchy.

Storage Notes
- Fridge: Leftovers keep for 4 days. They will lose crispiness.
- Reheat: Air fryer at 375°F for 5 minutes or oven at 400°F for 8 minutes. Don’t microwave.
- Pro tip: These are best fresh from the oven. Make only what you’ll eat.
