Ingredients
Scale
Potatoes and Coating
- 3 lb new potatoes, quartered
- ¼ cup olive oil
- 2 tbsp cornstarch
Seasonings
- 1 tsp freshly ground black pepper
- 2 tsp kosher salt
- 1 tsp paprika
- 2 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 2 tsp minced fresh rosemary
Toppings
- ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). If your oven has a convection setting, select convection at the same temperature for even cooking.
- Prepare the potatoes: Wash and quarter the new potatoes to ensure they cook evenly and develop a crispy outside while remaining soft inside.
- Mix seasoning and coat potatoes: In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, cornstarch, black pepper, kosher salt, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and minced fresh rosemary. Add the quartered potatoes and toss thoroughly to coat each piece evenly with the flavorful mixture.
- Arrange and roast: Spread the coated potatoes in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper to prevent sticking. Roast in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes until the potatoes are golden brown and crispy on the outside but tender inside.
- Finish and serve: Remove the roasted potatoes from the oven and transfer them to a serving dish. Immediately sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese and chopped fresh parsley over the hot potatoes. Serve warm as a delicious and aromatic side dish.
Notes
- A blend of garlic, paprika, and rosemary gives these potatoes fresh, vibrant flavors that complement many dishes.
- Cornstarch helps create a crispy crust on the potatoes during roasting.
- Fresh Parmesan cheese adds a salty, tangy finish that enhances the overall taste.
- Using fresh rosemary is preferred for the best aroma and taste, but dried rosemary can be substituted if necessary.
- This dish pairs perfectly with roasted meats, grilled vegetables, or as a standalone vegetarian side.
- For a spicier kick, consider adding a pinch of cayenne pepper or smoked paprika.
