Step by Step Instructions
Prep
Preheat your oven to 400F and make sure your rack is in the middle position.
Chop your potatoes into bite-sized chunks, as uniformly as possible. Some of mine only required cutting in half, while others did require quartering. Either way, uniform sizing helps to ensure uniform cooking.
Assemble
In a medium-sized bowl add the oil, Italian seasoning or herbs de Provence, grated parmesan, minced garlic, salt, and pepper.
Stir to combine all ingredients.
Add the chopped potatoes to the bowl and toss to combine them with the seasoning and oil.
Bake
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Spread the potatoes evenly on the prepared pan and bake until crispy and cooked through. Turn the potatoes every 15 minutes to get them evenly browned.
The total bake time is 35-40 minutes.
Once your potatoes have reached your desire doneness, remove them from the oven.
Sprinkle them with additional salt and pepper (if desired). Garnish with fresh parsley or fresh herbs.
Dig in! Makes 6 side-dish servings.
