Crispy Parmesan Potatoes with Garlic & Herbs

3. Cook for Maximum Crispiness (Roast or Pan-Sear)

Option A: Oven Roasting (Recommended)

  1. Preheat: Preheat your oven to $425^{\circ}\text{F}$ ($220^{\circ}\text{C}$).
  2. Spread: Arrange the potatoes in a single layer on a large baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Ensure the potatoes are not overlapping, which is crucial for crispiness.
  3. Roast: Bake for 20-30 minutes, flipping the potatoes halfway through, until they are deep golden brown and crunchy on the edges.

Option B: Pan-Searing (For the image’s deep color)

  1. Heat Oil: Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.
  2. Sear: Place the seasoned potato slices in the pan in a single layer (work in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding).
  3. Cook: Cook for 5-8 minutes per side, pressing down occasionally with a spatula, until the Parmesan forms a deep, dark golden-brown, crispy crust.

4. Finish and Serve

  1. Garnish: Transfer the crispy potatoes to a serving platter. Immediately sprinkle them with additional freshly grated Parmesan (as shown in the image) and the chopped fresh parsley.
  2. Serve: Serve hot immediately with ketchup, aioli, or a sour cream dip.
