Ingredients

  • 2 lbs baby Yukon gold potatoes, cut in half
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 tablespoon melted butter
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese, plus 2 tablespoons, divided
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • For serving: Extra Parmesan cheese, chopped parsley, and lemon wedges

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Grease a large baking sheet with olive oil spray and set aside.
  • Bring a large pot of water to a boil and add the salt and baking soda. Carefully add the potatoes and cook for 7 to 10 minutes until just fork-tender. Drain and let cool slightly.
  • In a large bowl, combine the potatoes, melted butter, olive oil, 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, garlic, lemon zest, rosemary, salt, and pepper.
  • Transfer the potatoes to the prepared pan and spread them out in a single layer, making sure they are not touching. Sprinkle with remaining Parmesan cheese.
  • Roast for 20 to 25 minutes or until potatoes are golden brown and crispy.
  • Remove from the oven and garnish with a little extra Parmesan cheese and parsley. Squeeze extra lemon juice on top, if desired. Serve warm.

Notes

How to Store & Reheat: Place leftover potatoes in an airtight container and refrigerate for 3-4 days. To reheat, spread them out on a baking sheet and heat in a 375°F oven for 10 minutes or until heated through. You can also reheat in the air fryer for a few minutes. Avoid microwaving, as it can make them soggy.
