Crispy Garlic Parmesan Potato Bites
Preparation Time
- Prep Time: 10 minutes
- Cook Time: 25 minutes
- Total Time: 35 minutes
- Servings: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 500 g (1 lb) baby potatoes or small potatoes
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon butter, melted
Optional:
- Fresh parsley for garnish
- Red pepper flakes for a little heat
Instructions
1. Prepare the Potatoes
Wash the potatoes thoroughly and slice them into small bite-sized pieces. If you are using baby potatoes, you can cut them in halves or quarters.
Pat them dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture, which helps them become crispier when baking.
2. Season the Potatoes
In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, minced garlic, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper.
Add the potatoes and toss well until every piece is evenly coated with the seasoning mixture.
3. Add Parmesan Cheese
Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the potatoes and mix gently so the cheese sticks to the surface of the potatoes.
4. Bake the Potatoes
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).
Spread the potatoes evenly on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Make sure they are in a single layer to ensure they cook evenly and become crispy.
Bake for 20–25 minutes, turning them halfway through cooking, until they are golden brown and crispy.
5. Finish and Serve
Remove the potatoes from the oven and drizzle with melted butter for extra flavor. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired.
Serve hot and enjoy the crispy, cheesy goodness.
