Ruth’s Chris Parmesan Roasted Potatoes – Crispy & Golden

Instructions:

  1. Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, toss the potatoes with olive oil, melted butter, garlic, salt, black pepper, and Italian seasoning until well coated.
  3. Spread the potatoes cut-side down in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
  4. Roast for 30 to 35 minutes, until golden brown and fork-tender.
  5. Remove from the oven and sprinkle the Parmesan evenly over the potatoes.
  6. Return to the oven and roast for an additional 5 to 7 minutes, until the cheese melts and forms a crispy, golden crust.
  7. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired and serve immediately.

Variations

  • Add a pinch of smoked paprika for subtle warmth.
  • Use Pecorino Romano instead of Parmesan for a sharper bite.
  • Toss with rosemary or thyme for an herb-forward version.
  • Finish with a squeeze of lemon for brightness.

Tips

  • Always use freshly grated Parmesan for the best melt and crisp.
  • Avoid overcrowding the pan so the potatoes roast instead of steam.
  • Serve immediately for maximum crunch.
  • For extra steakhouse texture, broil for the last 1 to 2 minutes while watching closely.
