Viral Crispy Potatoes
Ingredients
- 3-4 potatoes (yukon, russet)
- salt and pepper, to taste
- 3-4 tbsp oil (I used avocado, you can use olive or vegetable)
- 1 tbsp parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Prepare the Potatoes: Begin by cubing up as many potatoes as desired. You can use any variety of potatoes you prefer, such as russet, Yukon gold, or red potatoes.
- Boil the Potatoes: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the cubed potatoes to the boiling water and cook until they are tender when pierced with a fork, typically about 10-15 minutes.
- Preheat the Oven: While the potatoes are boiling, preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Place a baking dish with a drizzle of oil in the oven as it heats up.
- Drain and Season the Potatoes: Once the potatoes are cooked, drain them well and transfer them to a mixing bowl. Season the potatoes generously with salt and pepper, and give them a hard shake to rough up the edges. This will help create extra crispiness.
- Bake the Potatoes: Carefully remove the hot baking dish from the oven and add the seasoned potatoes to the hot oil. Spread them out in an even layer. Bake the potatoes in the preheated oven for 45 minutes to 1 hour, flipping them every 15 minutes to ensure even cooking and crispiness.
- Add Parmesan Cheese: Once the potatoes are golden brown and crispy, remove them from the oven. Sprinkle the potatoes with grated Parmesan cheese while they are still hot, allowing the cheese to melt slightly and adhere to the potatoes.
- Serve and Enjoy: Transfer the crispy Parmesan potatoes to a serving dish and serve them immediately as a delicious side dish alongside your favorite main course.
