These Crispy Garlic Parmesan Potatoes are golden, crunchy on the outside, tender and fluffy inside, and packed with garlic and Parmesan flavor. They make an easy and delicious side dish for almost any meal.
Ingredients
2 pounds small potatoes, such as Yukon Gold or baby red potatoes
3 tablespoons olive oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon dried thyme
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon black pepper
½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
Wash the potatoes thoroughly and cut them in half. If they are larger, cut them into quarters.
Place the potatoes in a large bowl and add olive oil, minced garlic, thyme, salt, and black pepper. Toss until evenly coated.
Sprinkle the Parmesan cheese over the potatoes and toss again.
Arrange the potatoes cut-side down on a parchment-lined baking sheet, leaving space between them.
Roast for 30–40 minutes, or until the potatoes are golden brown and crispy.
Remove from the oven and sprinkle with fresh parsley.
Serve immediately while hot and crispy.
Tips
For extra-crispy potatoes, make sure they are spread out in a single layer without touching too much.
You can add paprika, Italian seasoning, or a pinch of red pepper flakes for extra flavor.
For the crispiest Parmesan crust, place the potatoes cut-side down so the cheese and oil caramelize underneath.
Serving Suggestions
These potatoes are delicious alongside roasted chicken, steak, pork chops, burgers, or grilled vegetables. They also make a fantastic appetizer served with ranch or garlic aioli.
Storage
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in an oven or air fryer to restore their crispiness.
Conclusion
These Crispy Garlic Parmesan Potatoes are an easy way to turn simple potatoes into a golden, flavorful side dish. Crispy edges, creamy centers, garlic, and Parmesan make them hard to resist.
