2. Interactive Ingredients Checklist & Keto / High-Protein Swaps
When it comes to making these roast potatoes, the key is in the ingredients.
I like to use Russet potatoes for their high-starch content, which helps them stay fluffy on the inside.
The smoked paprika and garlic powder add a depth of flavor that’s hard to resist, while the Parmesan cheese adds a salty, nutty flavor that complements the potatoes perfectly.

Chef Sofia’s Tested Swaps (High-Protein · Keto/Low-Carb · Air Fryer)
• High-Protein Boost: Add 1/4 cup of Greek yogurt or cottage cheese to the potato mixture for an extra 10g of protein!
• Keto & Low-Carb Swap: Replace the Parmesan cheese with 2 tbsp of grated cheddar or mozzarella for a lower-carb option!
• Air Fryer Option: Cook the potatoes in the air fryer at 400°F (200°C) for 10-12 minutes, shaking halfway through, for a crispy exterior and fluffy interior!
