Ingredients:

• 1.5 lbs Yukon Gold potatoes (or baby red potatoes)

• 3 tbsp olive oil

• 4 cloves garlic, minced

• 1 tsp salt

• ½ tsp black pepper

• 1 tsp paprika (optional for smokiness)

• ½ tsp dried thyme (or rosemary)

• ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese

• 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven & Prep Potatoes

• Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).

• Wash and scrub the potatoes thoroughly. If using larger Yukon Golds, cut them into 1-inch cubes. For baby red potatoes, halve or quarter them for even cooking.

2. Season the Potatoes

• In a large bowl, toss the potatoes with olive oil, minced garlic, salt, pepper, paprika, and dried thyme until evenly coated.

3. Roast to Crispy Perfection

• Spread the potatoes in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper (or lightly greased).

• Roast for 30-35 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crispy.

4. Add Parmesan & Finish

• Remove from oven and immediately sprinkle with Parmesan cheese and fresh parsley. Toss lightly to coat.

• Serve hot as a side dish or snack!
