Ruth’s Chris Parmesan Roasted Potatoes

Instructions:

1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a large bowl, toss the halved potatoes with olive oil, melted butter, minced garlic, salt, black pepper, and Italian seasoning until evenly coated.
3. Arrange the potatoes cut-side down on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer.
4. Roast for 30 to 35 minutes, until golden brown and fork-tender.
5. Remove from the oven and immediately sprinkle the grated Parmesan evenly over the hot potatoes.
6. Return to the oven for 5 minutes, until the cheese melts and lightly crisps.
7. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve warm.

Variations :

• Add a pinch of red pepper flakes for subtle heat.
• Substitute rosemary or thyme for Italian seasoning for a more herb-forward profile.
• Toss with a squeeze of fresh lemon juice before serving for brightness.

Tips :

• Preheat the baking sheet in the oven before adding the potatoes for extra crispy bottoms.
• Do not overcrowd the pan; proper spacing ensures even browning.
• Use freshly grated Parmesan for the best melt and flavor.
