Instructions
Add 1/2 inch cut potatoes to a large saucepan and cover with water, making sure the water is 1" above the potatoes.
Heat saucepan over medium-high and boil until potatoes are soft and tender. Drain and cool slightly.
Add 2 tablespoons vegetable oil to an 8x8 baking dish and place into the oven.
Turn on the oven and preheat (with the pan inside) to 450.
Once the oven is done preheating, remove the pan with oil from the oven and CAREFULLY pour potatoes into the baking dish. Potatoes can splash hot oil, so use caution. Sometimes it's best to use a slotted spoon to slowly add them to the dish.
Gently toss potatoes to coat all sides in oil.
Place potatoes in the oven for 40-50 minutes, tossing halfway through to flip to a new side.
Remove potatoes from the oven, top with garlic salt and Parmesan cheese and mix well.
Before serving, top with chopped fresh parsley.
Notes
Tip: The smaller these potatoes are cut down, the quicker they cook and the easier to get all sides with that crispy golden brown flavor. However, do not go TOO tiny or you lose the density and soft delicious center that a russet potato has.
