First things first—preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). This ensures that your oven is hot and ready when you start roasting the potatoes.
Step 2: Prepare The Potatoes
Scrub the red potatoes thoroughly to remove any dirt. Dice them into evenly sized pieces, which helps them cook uniformly.
Step 3: Season The Potatoes
In a large bowl, combine the diced potatoes, melted butter, olive oil, minced garlic, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Toss everything together until the potatoes are well-coated.
Step 4: Roast The Potatoes
Spread the seasoned potatoes onto a baking sheet in a single layer. Roast them in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until they’re golden brown and crispy.
Step 5: Final Touches
Once the potatoes are out of the oven, sprinkle them with fresh parsley, grated Parmesan cheese, and dried rosemary. Give them a gentle toss before serving.
Notes
Use Fresh Ingredients: Fresh garlic and parsley make a significant difference in taste compared to their dried counterparts.
Even Sizing: Make sure to dice the potatoes into similar sizes to ensure even cooking.
Non-Stick Baking Sheet: Using a non-stick baking sheet or lining it with parchment paper can make cleanup easier.
Preheating the Oven: Always preheat your oven. Starting the potatoes in a hot oven helps them get crispier.
Flavor Boost: For an added punch of flavor, consider drizzling a bit of truffle oil over the potatoes before serving.
