These Oven Roasted Potatoes are coated in butter and seasoned with garlic, Parmesan, and Italian seasoning making them impossible to resist. They pair perfectly with many entrees!
Why You Must Make
- These roasted new potatoes are anything but bland. Packed full of flavor, they’re deliciously creamy on the inside with crispy exteriors.
- Crispy Oven Roasted Potatoes are easy enough for a weeknight, yet worthy of dinner guests!
- These roasted Parmesan potatoes were a great addition to our Sunday night family dinner. We fired up the grill and barbecued a marinated flank steak, roasted some carrots, and rounded out the meal with these Parmesan crusted potatoes.
Ingredient Notes
- Kitchen Staples – Butter (I used salted), Olive Oil, Garlic Powder, Kosher Salt, Freshly Ground Black Pepper
- New Potatoes – 1½-2 pounds, washed if needed.
- Grated Parmesan Cheese – Use real Parmesano Reggiano, not the green can you find on the grocers’ shelves.
- Fresh Parsley – Chopped to garnish, especially if serving to company. The green helps give the dish some color.
How to Make
Recipe Tips
- Use baby or “new” potatoes. They are small, with thin tender skins. They can be found in various colors, tan/brown, yellow, red and even purple.
- Use real grated Parmesan, also known as Parmigiano Reggiano. The stuff in the green can on the grocer’s shelves won’t provide the best flavor. Look for real Parmesan in the cheese section of your supermarket.
- Since roasted potatoes are basically brown, adding some chopped parsley or chives can liven them up, but is totally optional.
- Gently reheat any leftover garlic parmesan roasted potatoes in the microwave before serving.
Frequently Asked Questions
New potatoes are just young potatoes. They can be of any variety, have thin skins and a waxy texture. They keep their shape well after cooking, so they’re great for potato salads.
Besides potato salad, they’re perfect to use for crispy smashed potatoes (recipe below), roasting, and boiling.
