Crispy Crunchy Parmesan Potatoes are a golden, flavorful side dish with a crunchy exterior and tender interior, coated with Parmesan cheese, garlic, and herbs, then baked to perfection.

Ingredients

  • 2 pounds baby potatoes, halved or quartered
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon dried Italian herbs (like oregano, basil, thyme)
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (optional for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. In a large bowl, toss the potatoes with olive oil, garlic powder, Italian herbs, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
  3. Add the grated Parmesan cheese and toss again until the potatoes are well covered.
  4. Spread the potatoes out in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a lightly greased pan.
  5. Bake for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the potatoes are golden brown and crispy.
  6. Remove from the oven, garnish with fresh parsley if desired, and serve immediately.

Notes

  • Ensure potatoes are dry before tossing to maximize crispiness.
  • Do not overcrowd the baking sheet to allow even roasting and crispiness.
  • For a spicy version, add cayenne pepper or chili flakes.
  • Try swapping Parmesan for Pecorino Romano for a sharper flavor.
  • Roast with fresh rosemary or thyme for added aroma.
  • Use sweet potatoes for a sweeter, softer variation.
  • For vegan option, omit cheese and use nutritional yeast instead.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
  • Reheat in the oven at 400°F (200°C) for about 10 minutes to restore crispiness; avoid microwaving.
