Main Ingredients:
- 2 large potatoes
- 1 cup (240 milliliters) shredded cheddar cheese
Seasoning Ingredients:
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- Salt to taste
- Pepper to taste
Cooking Ingredient:
- Cooking spray
Instructions
- Heat the oven to 400F (200C) and prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper for optimal potato roasting.
- Carefully cube potatoes into uniform bite-sized chunks to ensure even cooking and consistent texture.
- Combine potato pieces with grated cheddar cheese, creating a flavorful coating enhanced by garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
- Distribute seasoned potato cubes across the parchment-lined baking sheet, ensuring single-layer spacing for maximum crispiness.
- Lightly mist the potato bites with cooking spray to promote golden browning and enhance exterior crunch.
- Roast in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, rotating the sheet midway to guarantee uniform caramelization and crisp edges.
- Remove from oven when potatoes achieve a deep golden color and cheese appears melted and slightly crisp.
- Allow potato bites to rest for 2-3 minutes to set their crispy exterior before serving immediately while hot and at peak flavor.
Notes
- Ensure potatoes are evenly cut to guarantee uniform cooking and crispy texture.
- Shake the baking sheet halfway through cooking to help potatoes brown consistently and prevent sticking.
- For extra crispiness, pat potato pieces dry with paper towels before seasoning to remove excess moisture.
- Experiment with different cheese varieties like parmesan or gruyère for unique flavor profiles and dietary preferences.
