Follow these steps to make oven-roasted potatoes with an intensely crispy, flavorful crust made from garlic, Parmesan cheese, and breadcrumbs.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 lbs Yukon Gold or Russet potatoes, cut into 1.5-inch chunks
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese (for topping)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Lightly grease a large baking sheet.
  2. Place the potato chunks in a large pot and cover with cold, salted water. Bring to a boil and cook for 8 to 10 minutes until the edges are slightly tender but the centers are still firm. Drain the potatoes well.
  3. Gently shake the drained potatoes in the pot to rough up the edges; this helps create a crispier exterior.
  4. Toss the roughed-up potatoes with the olive oil, salt, and pepper on the baking sheet. Spread them into a single layer.
  5. Roast for 20 minutes.
  6. While the potatoes roast, prepare the crust mixture: In a small bowl, combine the panko breadcrumbs, 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, minced garlic, and chopped parsley. Mix well.
  7. Remove the potatoes from the oven. Sprinkle the crust mixture evenly over the potatoes, tossing gently to coat.
  8. Return the potatoes to the oven and roast for another 15 to 20 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the potatoes are fully tender inside.
  9. Remove from the oven, sprinkle with the remaining 1/4 cup of Parmesan cheese, and serve immediately.

Notes

  • For extra crispiness, use a metal baking sheet and do not overcrowd the potatoes; use two sheets if necessary.
  • If you prefer an air fryer method, cook the coated potatoes at 380°F (195°C) for 12-15 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through.
  • Use fresh garlic for the best flavor in the crust.
