Instructions

01
Prepare the potatoes: Wash potatoes thoroughly. If using larger potatoes, cut into 1-inch cubes. For small potatoes, halve or quarter them to create uniform bite-sized pieces.
02
Parboil the potatoes: Place potato pieces in a large pot of salted water. Bring to a boil and cook for 5-7 minutes until edges are slightly softened but not falling apart. Drain completely.
03
Dry and rough up the potatoes: Return parboiled potatoes to the pot. Shake the pot vigorously to create rough edges - this helps create extra crispy exterior. Let steam dry for 2-3 minutes.
04
Season the potatoes: Sprinkle cornstarch, salt, pepper, garlic powder, rosemary, and smoked paprika over the potatoes. Toss gently to coat evenly.
05
Prepare coating mixture: In a separate bowl, mix grated Parmesan, cornmeal (or panko), and chopped chives.
06
Roast the potatoes: Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
07
Arrange potatoes: Spread potatoes on the baking sheet, ensuring they're not touching. Drizzle with olive oil.
08
First roast: Bake for 20 minutes, turning once halfway through to ensure even browning.
09
Add coating: Remove from oven, sprinkle the Parmesan-cornmeal mixture over potatoes, pressing gently to adhere.
10
Final roast: Return to oven and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes until deeply golden and crispy.
11
Serve immediately: Transfer to a serving platter. Garnish with fresh herbs, extra Parmesan, or flaky sea salt. Serve with chosen dipping sauces.
