Success Secrets
The key to perfect parmesan garlic roasted potatoes lies in three things: high heat spreading them in a single layer and not skimping on the parmesan. That cheese creates such a wonderful crispy crust while keeping the centers tender and flavorful.
Keep Them Crispy
Though these potatoes are best fresh from the oven they reheat beautifully if you use high heat. I love making extra because they're fantastic the next day crisped up in the air fryer. Sometimes I'll switch up the cheese or herbs but that garlic parmesan combination is always a winner.
