Ingredients

- Arrange the potatoes in a single layer in a shallow baking dish.
- Bake in a 375°F oven until tender, about 1 hour.
- Optional: Cover and refrigerate for next day serving.
Tips & Substitutions
For extra flavor, consider adding garlic powder or dried herbs like rosemary or thyme to the potatoes before baking. If you're low on Parmesan cheese, you can substitute with a mix of cheddar and nutritional yeast for a similar taste. Make sure to pierce the potatoes well to allow steam to escape, helping them cook evenly. This recipe works well with other vegetables, so feel free to roast a mix alongside the potatoes.
Serving Suggestions
These roasted potatoes pair beautifully with grilled meats or as a side for a fresh salad. For a complete meal, serve alongside a protein like chicken or fish, or incorporate them into a vegetarian platter. Consider topping with additional yogurt and fresh herbs for a vibrant finish. They also make a great addition to brunch, complementing dishes like Spiral Cinnamon Rolls or a hearty frittata.
Storage & Reheating
Leftover roasted potatoes can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place them on a baking sheet and warm in a 375°F oven for about 15-20 minutes until heated through and slightly crispy. Alternatively, you can microwave them for a quicker option, though they may lose some crispiness.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use different types of potatoes for this recipe?
Yes, you can use other varieties such as Yukon Gold or fingerling potatoes. Just keep in mind that cooking times may vary slightly depending on the size and type of potatoes, so check for tenderness as they roast.
Is it necessary to refrigerate the potatoes overnight?
Refrigerating the potatoes overnight is optional but can enhance the flavors as they marinate in the yogurt. If you choose to do this, simply reheat them in the oven before serving to achieve a crispy texture.
Can I make this recipe dairy-free?
Absolutely! You can substitute the Parmesan cheese with a dairy-free alternative, like nutritional yeast for a cheesy flavor, and use a plant-based yogurt. This makes it suitable for those following vegan or dairy-free diets while still providing great taste.
