Ingredients
- 1 pound baby red or gold potatoes , cut into quarters
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/3 cup breadcrumbs
- 1½ teaspoons Italian seasoning
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
Instructions
Step 1: Preheat the Oven
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) .
- Lightly grease a large baking sheet with cooking spray or olive oil to prevent sticking.
Step 2: Coat the Potatoes with Olive Oil
- Place the quartered potatoes in a large zip-close bag.
- Add the olive oil to the bag, seal it, and shake well to evenly coat the potatoes.
Step 3: Add the Seasoning and Parmesan Mixture
- To the same bag, add the breadcrumbs , Italian seasoning , salt , and grated Parmesan cheese .
- Seal the bag again and shake vigorously to ensure the potatoes are evenly coated with the breadcrumb and seasoning mixture.
Step 4: Arrange on the Baking Sheet
- Spread the coated potatoes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Ensure they’re not overcrowded to allow for even roasting and maximum crispiness.
Step 5: Roast the Potatoes
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20–25 minutes , stirring the potatoes at least once halfway through cooking. This helps them cook evenly and develop a crispy exterior on all sides.
- The potatoes are done when they’re golden brown, crispy on the outside, and soft on the inside.
Step 6: Serve and Enjoy
- Remove the potatoes from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving.
- Enjoy them as a side dish with your favorite protein, or serve them as a snack with dipping sauces like ranch, garlic aioli, or marinara.
Pro Tips
- Potato Choice: Baby red or gold potatoes work best because of their creamy texture and thin skins, but you can use any small potato variety.
- Extra Crispiness: For an even crispier result, pat the potatoes dry with a paper towel before tossing them with olive oil.
- Add-Ins: Amp up the flavor by sprinkling fresh parsley, garlic powder, or smoked paprika over the potatoes after roasting.
- Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3–4 days . Reheat in the oven or air fryer to restore crispiness.
