Variations
- Spicy Kick: Add 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper or a pinch of red pepper flakes for heat.
- Cheese Upgrade: Use finely grated Pecorino Romano for a sharper cheese flavor.
- Herb Substitutes: Replace oregano with thyme or rosemary for a different aromatic touch.
- Lemon Zest: Add a touch of lemon zest before serving for a fresh finish.

Storage/Reheating
Store leftover potatoes in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in a 400°F (200°C) oven for 10–12 minutes until hot and crispy. Avoid microwaving, as it may make the potatoes soggy. For best results, use a baking sheet to retain their crisp texture.
FAQs
Can I use other types of potatoes?
Yes, Yukon Gold or red potatoes also work well. Just be sure to cut them into even pieces for uniform cooking.
Can I prepare these ahead of time?
You can cut and season the potatoes ahead of time, then roast them just before serving for the best texture.
How do I get my potatoes extra crispy?
Ensure the potatoes are dry before seasoning and place them cut-side down on the baking sheet without overcrowding.
Is fresh or pre-grated parmesan better?
Freshly grated parmesan melts and browns better, creating a crispier coating, but pre-grated can be used in a pinch.
What’s the best way to mince garlic?
Use a garlic press or finely mince with a knife to ensure even distribution and avoid burning during roasting.
Can I make this dish vegan?
Yes, simply omit the parmesan or use a plant-based alternative.
Do I need to peel the potatoes?
No, the skins add texture and nutrients. Just wash and scrub them well before using.
What sauces pair well with this?
Try aioli, sour cream with chives, ranch, or a spicy ketchup for dipping.
Can I freeze roasted potatoes?
It’s not recommended as the texture may suffer. Freshly roasted potatoes have the best flavor and crunch.
Why use parchment paper or foil?
It prevents sticking and makes cleanup easier. It also helps the potatoes brown evenly.
