- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon dried rosemary

Instructions:
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Prepare Potatoes:

- Roast the potatoes in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes or until they are golden brown and tender, stirring halfway through cooking for even browning.
- Garnish and Serve:
- Once the potatoes are roasted to your desired crispness, remove them from the oven.
- Sprinkle the roasted potatoes with chopped fresh parsley for a pop of color and additional flavor (optional).
- Serve the garlic Parmesan roasted potatoes hot as a delicious side dish with your favorite main course.
Tips:
- You can customize the seasoning by adding other herbs or spices like paprika, onion powder, or Italian seasoning to the garlic Parmesan mixture.
- For extra cheesy potatoes, sprinkle some additional grated Parmesan cheese over the potatoes during the last few minutes of roasting.
- These potatoes pair well with grilled or roasted meats, poultry, or even as a tasty addition to a vegetarian meal. Enjoy!
