Why You’ll Love This Garlic Parmesan Roasted Potatoes

These potatoes are the definition of simple yet spectacular. They hit all the right notes: crispy edges, a rich parmesan crust, and aromatic herbs that make your kitchen smell divine. Plus, they reheat like a dream and are naturally gluten-free, making them a crowd-pleaser at any table.

What Kind of Potatoes Should I Use?

Baby gold or Yukon potatoes are ideal here. Their thin skin crisps beautifully, and their creamy interior holds up well in the oven. You can also use red potatoes or fingerlings—just be sure to cut them into uniform sizes so they roast evenly.

Ingredients for the Garlic Parmesan Roasted Potatoes

To make the most flavorful roasted potatoes, every ingredient counts. Here’s what you’ll need:

Baby Yukon Gold Potatoes – Their natural buttery texture and thin skins are perfect for roasting.

Olive Oil – Helps the potatoes crisp and carries the garlic and herb flavor beautifully.

Garlic (Minced) – Adds that bold, savory flavor that makes this dish irresistible.

Grated Parmesan Cheese – Melts into a golden crust on the potatoes for a nutty, salty finish.

Dried Italian Herbs – A mix of oregano, thyme, and basil enhances the overall depth.

Salt & Black Pepper – Season simply but generously to bring out all the flavors.

Fresh Parsley (Optional) – Sprinkled on top for a burst of color and freshness.

How To Make the Garlic Parmesan Roasted Potatoes

Step 1: Prep the Potatoes

Wash and dry the potatoes, then cut them in half. If some are larger, quarter them to ensure they’re all roughly the same size.

Step 2: Season Everything

In a large mixing bowl, toss the potatoes with olive oil, minced garlic, salt, pepper, and dried Italian herbs. Make sure every piece is coated.

Step 3: Add the Parmesan

Sprinkle in the grated parmesan and gently mix to coat the potatoes evenly. Save a little cheese for topping at the end.

Step 4: Roast to Perfection

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Spread the potatoes cut-side down on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Roast for 25-30 minutes or until golden and crisp.

Step 5: Finish & Serve

Sprinkle with reserved parmesan and chopped parsley. Serve hot and enjoy the crunch!

Serving and Storing Garlic Parmesan Roasted Potatoes

These potatoes serve about 4 people as a side dish. They’re best enjoyed fresh out of the oven, but you can store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. To reheat, simply pop them back in the oven or air fryer at 375°F until crisped up again.
