Ingredient Notes and Substitutions

In many produce departments, you can find bags of small potatoes that are almost bite-sized. They are pre-washed and ready for you to turn into dinner in just a few minutes.

All you have to do is slice them, drizzle on some oil, season with salt and pepper, and roast until they are brown and crispy. Then you sprinkle on some Parmesan cheese and roast them a little longer. The cheese browns and adds a lot of extra flavor.

You don’t have to buy those bags of small potatoes to make this roast potato recipe. You can use regular potatoes if you want, but you will have a little extra work because you will have to wash them.

How to Make Roasted Baby Potatoes with Parmesan

Parmesan roasted potatoes are really easy to make. They take just a few minutes to prep before they are tossed in the oven to roast until golden brown. Your favorite thing about this recipe (apart from the irresistible taste) will be how easy it is to prepare. Here are the simple steps to follow:

1. Cut the potatoes in half and place them in a bowl. If you have larger potatoes, you’ll need to cut them into smaller pieces.

3. Place potatoes cut side down onto a rimmed baking sheet in a single layer.
4. Bake at 425°F for about 30 minutes, or until they begin to crisp.

Parmesan Roasted Potatoes – Recipe Variations

• Substitute roasted garlic olive oil for regular olive oil.
• Swap out Parmesan for asiago, pecorino, or Romano.
• Make the dish more colorful by using an assortment of potatoes – from red to purple.
• Combine the potatoes with other veggies – carrots, cauliflower, sweet onions.
• Try Parmesan roasted sweet potatoes.
• Add some fresh herbs – parsley, rosemary, or thyme. If you use dried herbs, go easy because they can overpower the delicate flavor of the potatoes.

Tips for Making Parmesan Roasted Potatoes

Here are some great cooking tips for these delicious potatoes:

• Don’t peel the potatoes. The best part is that thick, crispy crust to enjoy after baking.
• Keep your potato cuts small enough to ensure the potatoes cook through in the prescribed time. As long as you’re using small pieces, these tasty little potato nuggets will cook super fast.
• Instead putting them in a bowl, place your cut potatoes in a large zip-close bag and add the olive oil. Then shake the bag to coat the potato wedges.
• Use a hot oven (425°F) to give the outside of the potatoes a nice crisp edge while keeping the insides nice and melt-in-your-mouth fluffy.
• Use a large baking sheet, and make sure you leave space between the potatoes. If you crowd them, you risk not getting that super crispy exterior we all love!
