Crispy and flavorful Garlic Parmesan Roasted Potatoes, perfect as a delicious side dish. Baby potatoes are tossed with olive oil, garlic, Parmesan cheese, and Italian herbs, then roasted until golden and crispy, finished with a sprinkle of fresh parsley.

Ingredients

Potatoes

  • 2 lbs baby potatoes, halved

Seasoning

  • 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 the oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and make clean-up easier.
  2. Toss the 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 all potatoes are evenly coated with the seasoning.
  3. Arrange the potatoes: Spread the coated potatoes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet to ensure even roasting and crispiness.
  4. Roast the potatoes: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for 25 to 30 minutes. Stir the potatoes halfway through cooking to promote even browning and to ensure they become golden and crispy.
  5. Garnish and serve: Once roasted, remove the potatoes from the oven and sprinkle chopped fresh parsley over the top for a fresh, vibrant finish. Serve warm as a perfect side dish.

Notes

  • For crispier potatoes, make sure they are spread out in a single layer without overcrowding.
  • You can substitute baby potatoes with fingerlings or small red potatoes if desired.
  • Adding a squeeze of lemon juice after roasting can enhance flavor with a subtle tang.
  • For a milder garlic flavor, you can roast whole garlic cloves alongside the potatoes instead of using minced garlic.
  • Leftover roasted potatoes can be refrigerated and reheated in the oven to retain crispiness.
