Ingredients
2 lbs (900 g) Potatoes, cut into wedges or cubes
3 tablespoons olive oil
4 cloves Garlic, minced
½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon dried Italian herbs (optional)
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley (for garnish)

Instructions

1. Preheat Oven
   Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Prepare Potatoes
   Wash and cut the potatoes into wedges or cubes. Pat them dry with a towel to remove excess moisture.
3. Season
   In a large bowl, toss the potatoes with olive oil, minced garlic, salt, pepper, and Italian herbs. Make sure each piece is coated evenly.
4. Roast
   Spread the potatoes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Roast for 25–30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and crispy.
5. Add Parmesan
   Sprinkle the grated Parmesan over the potatoes and roast for an additional 5 minutes, until the cheese melts and becomes slightly crispy.
6. Garnish and Serve
   Remove from the oven and sprinkle with chopped parsley. Serve immediately.
   Tips for Perfect Crispy Potatoes
   Pat potatoes dry to ensure crispiness.
   Don’t overcrowd the pan; give them space to roast properly.
   Use a high-heat oil like avocado or canola if you prefer.
