These roasted potatoes feature a crispy Parmesan crust with a soft, fluffy interior, enhanced by garlic, rosemary, and a splash of lemon juice for brightness. Perfect as a fuss-free, indulgent side dish for any occasion.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes, scrubbed and cut into 1-inch chunks
  • 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • ½ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese (about 50 g)
  • 3 large garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, finely chopped
  • 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. Scrub Yukon Gold potatoes and cut into roughly 1-inch chunks, keeping pieces uniform.
  3. Parboil the potatoes in boiling salted water for about 5 minutes until just tender but still firm. Drain well and shake the pot gently to roughen edges.
  4. Transfer potatoes to a large mixing bowl. Add olive oil, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, salt, and pepper. Toss thoroughly to coat evenly.
  5. Sprinkle grated Parmesan over the potatoes and toss gently but thoroughly to coat.
  6. Spread potatoes in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat, avoiding crowding.
  7. Roast in the oven for 20 minutes. Then flip or shake the potatoes to ensure even browning.
  8. Drizzle lemon juice over the potatoes and continue roasting for another 15-20 minutes until deep golden brown and crispy.
  9. If needed, roast an additional 5 minutes for extra crispness, watching carefully to avoid burning the Parmesan.
  10. Serve immediately hot from the oven.

Notes

Parboiling the potatoes and shaking them before roasting creates a rough surface for extra crispiness. Use freshly grated Parmesan for best texture. Avoid crowding the pan to prevent soggy potatoes. Reheat leftovers in a hot oven to restore crispiness; microwaving will make them soggy. Rosemary can be substituted with thyme or other herbs. For dairy-free, use nutritional yeast instead of Parmesan.
