1. Preheat and Prep: Begin by preheating your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (205°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
2. Boil the Potatoes: In a large pot of cold, well-salted water, add the potatoes and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Boil the potatoes for about 5 minutes until they’re slightly tender. Then, drain and thoroughly dry them with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
3. Prepare the Seasoning: In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, freshly grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Mix until the ingredients are well combined and form a flavorful seasoning mixture.
4. Coat the Potatoes:*Add the parboiled and dried potatoes to the bowl with the seasoning mixture. Toss the potatoes until they’re evenly coated with the olive oil, Parmesan, and seasonings, ensuring each potato is thoroughly coated for maximum flavor.
5. Roast to Perfection: Spread the seasoned potatoes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, making sure not to overcrowd them. This allows the potatoes to roast evenly and develop a crispy exterior. Roast the potatoes in the preheated oven for about 35 minutes, flipping them halfway through the cooking time. They’re ready when they’re golden brown and crispy on the outside, and tender on the inside.
6. Serve and Enjoy: Once the potatoes are done roasting, remove them from the oven and transfer them to a serving platter. Sprinkle additional freshly grated Parmesan cheese and chopped fresh parsley over the top for an extra burst of flavor and freshness. Serve the Extra-Crispy Parmesan-Crusted Roasted Potatoes hot and enjoy the irresistible combination of crispy, cheesy, and flavorful goodness.
