Instructions
-
Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 400°F (preferably using the convection bake setting) to ensure even cooking and browning.
-
Prepare the Baking Sheet: Line a cookie sheet or baking pan with aluminum foil, making sure to spray it generously with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
-
Dry the Potatoes: Thoroughly dry the potato pieces using a paper towel; this step is crucial for achieving a crispy texture.
-
Mix the Coating: In a large mixing bowl, combine the Italian salad dressing, olive oil, and minced garlic, stirring until well mixed.
-
Coat the Potatoes: Add the dried potato pieces to the bowl and toss them in the mixture until they are well coated.
-
Transfer to Baking Sheet: Carefully transfer the coated potatoes onto the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are spread out evenly for optimal roasting.
-
Season: Sprinkle the potatoes with salt, pepper, and grated Parmesan cheese, allowing the flavors to meld beautifully during cooking.
-
Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, turning the potatoes occasionally to ensure even browning and prevent sticking.
-
Check for Doneness: As cooking times can vary based on potato size, use a fork to test if the potatoes are tender; they may be ready before the full 30 minutes.
-
Finish and Serve: Once done, remove the potatoes from the oven and season with additional Parmesan cheese about 3-5 minutes before serving to enhance flavor. Enjoy the deliciously crispy and flavorful roasted potatoes!
