Description
Garlic Parmesan Roasted Potatoes are the perfect combination of crispy, golden edges and soft, fluffy centers. Coated in olive oil, garlic, herbs, and freshly grated Parmesan, they make an irresistible side dish that pairs effortlessly with meats, salads, or brunch spreads.
Ingredients
1.5 lbs baby potatoes
2 tbsp olive oil
4 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, finely grated (divided)
1 tsp dried Italian herbs (or mix of thyme, oregano, rosemary)
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
1 tbsp chopped parsley (optional)
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Wash and dry baby potatoes, then halve or quarter them for even cooking.
3. In a large mixing bowl, toss potatoes with olive oil, garlic, herbs, salt, pepper, and half the Parmesan until evenly coated.
4. Arrange potatoes cut-side down on the baking sheet, spaced apart.
5. Roast for 25–30 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy on the edges.
6. Sprinkle remaining Parmesan over potatoes and return to oven for 5 more minutes until cheese crisps up.
7. Remove from oven, garnish with parsley if using, and serve hot.
Notes
For extra crispiness, don’t overcrowd the baking sheet—use two sheets if needed.
Always use freshly grated Parmesan for the best melt and texture.
You can prep potatoes and seasoning ahead; just roast right before serving.
