Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pounds Yukon Gold or red potatoes, washed and cut into 1-inch chunks
  • 1 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese (about 100g)
  • 2 tablespoons fresh thyme leaves, finely chopped
  • 2 tablespoons fresh chives, finely chopped
  • 2 tablespoons fresh oregano, finely chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt, plus more to taste
  • ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • Zest of 1 lemon (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, melted

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it to prevent sticking.
  2. Wash and cut the potatoes into uniform 1-inch chunks. Toss the potatoes in a large bowl with the cornstarch until lightly coated.
  3. Add olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper to the potatoes. Toss thoroughly to coat every piece. Spread the potatoes out on the baking sheet in a single layer without crowding.
  4. Roast the potatoes in the oven for 25-30 minutes, turning halfway through, until golden and crispy on the edges with a tender inside.
  5. While the potatoes roast, finely chop thyme, chives, and oregano. In a small bowl, combine the herbs with freshly grated Parmesan, lemon zest, and melted butter. Stir well to make the herb crunch topping.
  6. Once the potatoes are out of the oven, sprinkle the herb and Parmesan mixture evenly over the hot potatoes. Toss gently or scatter on top and serve immediately.

Notes

Coating potatoes with cornstarch before oiling is key to extra crispiness. Use fresh Parmesan for best melting and flavor. Avoid overcrowding the baking sheet to prevent steaming. Turn potatoes halfway through roasting for even crispiness. Prepare herb topping just before serving to keep it fresh and crunchy. For extra crispiness, broil for 1-2 minutes at the end, watching carefully to avoid burning. Reheat leftovers in oven or air fryer to maintain crispness; avoid microwaving.
