Ingredients
Scale
Vegetables
- 4 medium potatoes (Yukon Gold or Russet)
Coating
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/4 cup breadcrumbs (preferably panko)
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp dried oregano
- Salt and pepper to taste
Others
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) to prepare for baking the potatoes.
- Prepare Potatoes: Wash and peel the potatoes if desired. Cut them into wedges or thick slices to ensure even cooking.
- Make Coating Mixture: In a bowl, combine the grated Parmesan cheese, breadcrumbs, garlic powder, dried oregano, salt, and pepper to form the flavorful crust.
- Coat Potatoes with Oil: Toss the potato wedges with olive oil until they are evenly coated, which helps the crust adhere and promotes crispiness.
- Apply Parmesan Mixture: Press each potato wedge into the Parmesan and breadcrumb mixture to coat evenly on all sides.
- Arrange for Baking: Place the coated potatoes on a parchment-lined baking sheet, spacing them apart to allow air circulation for crispiness.
- Bake Potatoes: Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, flipping the wedges halfway through the cooking time to ensure even golden and crispy crust formation.
- Garnish and Serve: Once baked, garnish the potatoes with freshly chopped parsley and serve immediately for best flavor and texture.
Notes
- Use Yukon Gold potatoes for a creamier texture or Russet potatoes for a fluffier inside.
- Panko breadcrumbs provide extra crunch but regular breadcrumbs will also work.
- For extra flavor, try adding a pinch of smoked paprika or cayenne pepper to the coating mixture.
- Make sure to flip the potatoes halfway through baking to ensure even crispiness on all sides.
- These potatoes can be served as a side dish or a tasty snack with your favorite dipping sauce.
