Crunchy Garlic Parmesan Spuds

I've turned these garlic parmesan spuds into my favorite sidekick that wows everyone at dinner. When those edges turn golden and crunchy while the middles stay soft and fluffy, you get this amazing texture combo. And that coating of parmesan and garlic? It packs such a punch of flavor. I've tweaked this recipe tons of times to nail down the method for potatoes that come out perfect every single time.

Easy But Impressive

The best thing about these garlic parmesan spuds is how they work with anything and don't need fancy skills. Mix together some real parmesan, minced garlic and a few herbs and you'll create something that tastes amazing. My kids beg for them whether we're having a big Sunday dinner or just some grilled chicken on a Tuesday night.

Your Ingredients

  • Red Potatoes: Look for ones that are similar in size and feel hard.
  • Parmesan: Grab a block and grate it yourself.
  • Garlic: Skip the jar and go for whole cloves.
  • Oregano: This gives that perfect flavor boost.

Cooking Steps

Crank That Heat
Make sure your oven's super hot for that awesome crunch.

Tips For Perfection

Want to know the three tricks for amazing garlic parmesan spuds? Cook them at super high heat, spread them out so they don't touch, and load up on that parmesan. The cheese makes this awesome crispy shell while keeping everything inside moist and flavorful.

Storing Leftovers

These potatoes taste best right after cooking but they warm up great if you use high heat. I always make more than we need because they taste fantastic the next day after a quick blast in the air fryer. Sometimes I play around with different cheeses or herbs but I always come back to the garlic and parmesan mix.

Frequently Asked Questions

→ What's the deal with 1-inch cuts?

Cutting them small means crispy outsides and soft insides that cook evenly every time.

→ Why no stacking on the tray?

Single layers let every piece crisp up nicely. Packed trays make them soggy and sad.

→ Can I choose a different type of potato?

Sure! Red works great, but any waxy one will do the trick. Just chop 'em evenly for equal cooking.

→ What’s with layering extra cheese?

The extra Parmesan on top gets crazy crispy and adds an insane level of cheesy goodness!

→ Does the pan really need spray?

Yes! It stops sticking disasters, making cleanup way easier and keeping everything crispy, not burnt.

Conclusion
