Garlic Parmesan Roasted Potatoes are a crispy, flavorful side dish perfect for any meal. Baby potatoes are tossed in olive oil, minced garlic, grated Parmesan cheese, and Italian herbs, then oven-roasted until golden and crispy. Finished with fresh parsley, this easy recipe delivers a savory and satisfying potato side with minimal effort.

Ingredients

Potatoes

  • 2 lbs baby potatoes, halved

Seasoning and Flavorings

  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon dried Italian herbs (or a mix of oregano, basil, and thyme)
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Garnish

  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure easy cleanup.
  2. Toss Potatoes: In a large bowl, combine the halved baby potatoes with olive oil, minced garlic, grated Parmesan cheese, dried Italian herbs, salt, and pepper. Toss thoroughly until each potato piece is evenly coated with the flavorful mixture.
  3. Arrange on Baking Sheet: Spread the coated potatoes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. This ensures even roasting and ensures the potatoes get crispy rather than steaming.
  4. Roast Potatoes: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for 25-30 minutes, stirring halfway through the cooking time. Roast until the potatoes turn golden brown, crispy on the edges, and tender on the inside.
  5. Garnish and Serve: Once roasted, remove the potatoes from the oven and sprinkle chopped fresh parsley over the top for a burst of color and freshness. Serve immediately as a delicious side dish.

Notes

  • For extra crispiness, use a convection oven setting if available.
  • Baby potatoes can be substituted with red or Yukon Gold potatoes cut into similar sizes.
  • Adjust the garlic quantity according to your preference for stronger or milder garlic flavor.
  • Fresh herbs can be used instead of dried Italian herbs for a more vibrant taste.
  • If Parmesan cheese is not available, nutritional yeast can be a vegetarian substitute.
