Potatoes are universally loved for their versatility and comfort factor, but if you think simply roasting them with a dash of salt is gourmet enough, think again. This International Potato Day 2025, step up your culinary game with an easy yet indulgent recipe that has gone viral—crispy parmesan potato cubes inspired by none other than ‘potato queen’ Poppy O’Toole. This dish promises to take your potato obsession to a whole new level.
Whether you’ve nailed the art of air-fried fries or mastered the classic mashed version, this twist on roasted potatoes will win your taste buds. These potato cubes are roasted to golden perfection, then tossed with fresh rosemary, garlic, and a generous grating of parmesan cheese. It’s the ultimate balance of crunch, creaminess, and flavor.
Ingredients:
- 5 to 6 medium potatoes
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 bulb garlic
- 3 sprigs rosemary
- 20 grams freshly grated parmesan
- Salt and pepper to taste
Preparation Method:
Begin by washing and peeling your potatoes before cutting them into thick cubes, around an inch to an inch and a half in size. Soak the cubes in cold salted water—the salt level should match that of seawater. Boil them for 8 to 10 minutes until just tender. After draining, let them steam under a towel in a colander for extra softness and internal heat.
Meanwhile, preheat your oven with a baking tray filled with vegetable oil. While the oven heats, chop the rosemary leaves and grate the parmesan cheese. Once the tray and oil are hot, spread the potato cubes in a single layer and roast. Flip them halfway through to ensure even browning. Once they’re golden and crisp, transfer to a large bowl, sprinkle with sea salt, chopped rosemary, and grated parmesan, then toss well.
That’s it—your gourmet-style crispy parmesan potato cubes are ready to serve. These golden bites are ideal for parties, snacks, or simply treating yourself. Let this International Potato Day be about culinary excellence with a touch of cheesy crunch!
