Instructions
Making Crispy Cheesy Garlic Potatoes is simple and rewarding. Follow these steps for a delicious outcome:
1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). This high temperature is essential for achieving that crispy texture.
2. Prepare Potatoes: Wash and scrub the baby potatoes thoroughly. Cut them in half or quarters if they are larger, ensuring they are roughly the same size for even cooking.
3. Season the Potatoes: In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, minced garlic, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Add the potatoes to the bowl and toss until they are well coated with the oil and spices.
4. Arrange on Baking Sheet: Spread the seasoned potatoes evenly on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Make sure they are in a single layer for optimal crispiness.
5. Roast the Potatoes: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for about 25-30 minutes, or until the potatoes are golden brown and crisp. Flip them halfway through to ensure even cooking.
6. Add Cheese: Once the potatoes are crispy, remove them from the oven. Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese and grated Parmesan cheese over the hot potatoes.
7. Melt the Cheese: Return the baking sheet to the oven for an additional 5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
8. Garnish: Remove from the oven and sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley for a burst of color and added freshness.
9. Serve Immediately: Allow the potatoes to cool slightly before serving, but enjoy them while they are warm for the best taste and texture.
