Ingredients
Scale
- 2 lbs (907 g) russet potatoes
- 4 cloves minced garlic
- ¼ cup (60 ml) olive oil
- ¼ cup (25 g) grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
- Salt (to taste)
- Pepper (to taste)
- Red pepper flakes (optional)
- Butter (for greasing)
- Fresh chopped parsley (for garnish)
Instructions
- Preparation Preheating: Warm the oven to 400°F (200°C) and butter an 8×10-inch casserole dish thoroughly to prevent sticking.
- Potato Processing: Peel and slice potatoes into uniform half-moon shapes, ensuring consistent thickness for even roasting and crisp texture.
- Seasoning Fusion: In a large mixing bowl, coat potato slices with extra virgin olive oil, Italian seasoning, minced garlic, kosher salt, ground black pepper, and half the Parmesan cheese, massaging ingredients to distribute flavors evenly.
- Initial Roasting Phase: Transfer seasoned potatoes to the prepared dish, spreading them in a single layer. Sprinkle remaining Parmesan and drizzle olive oil over the top to enhance caramelization and crispiness.
- Roasting and Transformation: Place in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, then carefully rotate potatoes to ensure uniform browning. Continue roasting for an additional 25 minutes until edges turn golden and crisp.
- Finishing Touch: Remove from oven, transfer to a serving platter, and drizzle pan juices over the potatoes. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley to add a vibrant, aromatic element to the dish.
Notes
- Slice Evenly: Cut potatoes into uniform half-moon shapes to ensure consistent cooking and crispy texture.
- Coat Thoroughly: Massage olive oil and seasonings into potato slices to maximize flavor penetration and even distribution.
- Redistribute Carefully: Halfway through roasting, gently turn potatoes to prevent burning and achieve golden-brown crispiness on all sides.
- Garnish Freshly: Sprinkle chopped parsley just before serving to add bright color and subtle herbal notes that elevate the dish’s overall taste profile.
