Main Ingredients
- 3 lbs russet potatoes peeled and diced
- 4 cloves garlic minced
- 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter melted
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
Optional Ingredients

Preparation

- Spread the potatoes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 45-50 minutes, turning halfway through, until golden brown and crispy.
- Remove the baking sheet from the oven and sprinkle grated parmesan over the potatoes. Return to the oven for an additional 5 minutes to melt the cheese.
Serving
- Transfer the potatoes to a serving dish. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve hot.
Storage
- Allow leftover potatoes to cool completely, then store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
