Description

These Crispy Garlic Parmesan Crusted Potatoes are perfectly golden and crunchy on the outside, while soft and fluffy on the inside. Coated in a flavorful garlic butter and Parmesan mixture, they make the ultimate side dish for any meal!


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 1/2 lbs baby potatoes (Yukon gold or red)
  • 3 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1/2 tsp paprika
  • 1/2 tsp dried oregano (or Italian seasoning)
  • 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes (optional, for spice)
  • 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)



Instructions

Step 1: Preheat & Prep the Potatoes

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. Cut baby potatoes in half (or quarters if large).
  3. Pat dry with a paper towel for extra crispiness.

Step 2: Make the Parmesan Crust

  1. In a small bowl, mix melted butter, olive oil, garlic, Parmesan cheese, salt, black pepper, paprika, oregano, and red pepper flakes.
  2. Spread the mixture evenly over the bottom of a greased baking sheet or cast-iron skillet.

Step 3: Roast the Potatoes

  1. Place potatoes cut-side down on top of the Parmesan mixture, pressing them lightly.
  2. Roast for 30-35 minutes, until the bottoms are crispy and golden brown.

Step 4: Serve & Enjoy

  1. Let the potatoes cool for 5 minutes, then carefully loosen them with a spatula.
  2. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve hot!

Notes

  • Extra Crispy Tip: Broil for the last 2-3 minutes for an even crunchier crust.
  • Cheese Variation: Try using Pecorino Romano or Asiago for a different flavor.
  • Make It Vegan: Use vegan butter and nutritional yeast instead of Parmesan.
  • Storage: Refrigerate leftovers for up to 3 days and reheat in the oven at 375°F for 10 minutes.
