Crispy Parmesan Roast Potatoes are golden and crunchy on the outside, soft on the inside, and packed with savory, cheesy flavor—perfect as a side for any meal.

Ingredients

  • 2 lbs baby potatoes or Yukon Gold potatoes, halved or quartered
  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced (or 1 tsp garlic powder)
  • 1 tsp dried herbs (thyme, rosemary, or Italian seasoning)
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • Optional: chopped fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
  2. Wash and dry potatoes, then cut into even halves or quarters.
  3. In a large bowl, toss potatoes with olive oil, garlic, dried herbs, salt, and pepper until well coated.
  4. Add grated parmesan and toss again to coat each piece evenly.
  5. Arrange potatoes cut-side down on the baking sheet in a single layer.
  6. Roast for 25–35 minutes, or until the bottoms are golden and crispy and the potatoes are tender inside.
  7. Let sit for 2–3 minutes after baking to allow the crust to set, then gently lift with a spatula.
  8. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired and serve hot.

Notes

  • Use finely grated parmesan for best crispiness.
  • Do not overcrowd the pan—space promotes crisping.
  • Add fresh herbs or garlic butter after baking for extra flavor.
  • Best served fresh; reheat in oven to maintain crispiness.
