Parmesan Roasted Potatoes

Roasted potatoes are pretty much my life. I’ve been told that I make one mean batch of roasted potatoes, and so I feel like it’s my civic duty to share the recipe with you today. There really isn’t anything that crazy that goes into these potatoes but I guess they are pretty much like crack. People, including my boyfriend, just can’t get enough of them. I make big vats of these on the weekends so we can use them throughout the week. And without fail, they disappear by Wednesday or Thursday.

This is more a technique rather than a recipe, since you can scale these potatoes up if you’re cooking for a crowd. You could also throw in some extra herbs if your feeling the need to incorporate some thyme or rosemary or whatever you have on hand. But these potatoes that I’m about to show you, are total rock stars and always disappear at dinner parties.

You’re going to start with some naked potatoes….

Add on all the seasonings…

Using your fingers, go ahead and toss everything together….

Put them in the oven for about 30 minutes. Take them out and give them a quick toss with some tongs. Then stick them back in to the oven and let them work their magic…

Once they are nice and golden and crispy, throw them onto a serving platter….

And finally, you’ll have the best roasted parmesan potatoes ever!

Parmesan Roasted Potatoes
Recipe Type: Side Dish
Serves: 4
Ingredients
  • 4 cups cubed Yukon Gold potatoes
  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp garlic salt
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 2 tsp paprika
  • 1 tsp pepper
  • 4 tbsp Parmesan cheese
Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 425 degrees.
  2. Place the cubed potatoes into a baking dish. (The cubes of potatoes should be about 3/4 of an inch on all sides) You can spray the baking dish with a baking spray too to eliminate anything possibly sticking
  3. Pile on the olive oil, garlic salt, salt, paprika, pepper and Parmesan cheese. Using your fingers, or a spoon if you feel inclined, get in to the potatoes and carefully mix everything around until the seasonings coat each potato.
  4. Transfer the baking dish into the oven and bake for 30 minutes. Remove from the oven and toss the potatoes with a pair of tongs. Put the baking dish back into the oven and bake for about 15 – 25 minutes more until they are golden and crispy.
  5. Season with an little dusting of sea salt if desired and serve.

We prepare the fingerling potatoes with similar seasoning in addition we use a microwave steamer bag and cook the potatoes prior, this will cut down on the bake time. If we are grilling just wrap in a foil seal edges and throw it on the grill

Good addition to a grilled meal

I agree, potatoes are like crack to me too. Especially in the oven and when they turn out nice and crispy.

Without a doubt, I’ll be taking this recipe for a spin!

Heather August 12, 2011 at 11:08 am

So I made these the other night and they tasted really good, however, they were super salty! Did you perhaps mean 1 tsp of garlic salt instead of 1 Tbs?

Reply

Sarah @ Recipe Love August 12, 2011 at 2:55 pm

I made these last night and we loved them, except they were a bit spicy for my little one, so next time I’ll halve the pepper. Also, I used garlic powder instead of garlic salt, as I thought that they might be too salty with garlic salt AND regular salt. I absolutely loved them! Thanks for the recipe!

These potatoes are absolutely delicious! The first time I made them, they were still a bit tender when I took them out! Batch two was much much better! What a perfect roasted potato recipe! I added some thyme in batch two and I must say I actually enjoyed the original recipe much more. Thank you for sharing!

These looked awesome, so I made them tonight. I was disappointed that mine didn’t crisp up like yours! They were more like seasoned “mush” potatoes. What did I do wrong? Not enough olive oil?? I even cooked them for considerably longer and they just never got crispy.

Reply

Dani October 31, 2011 at 4:52 pm

I made these in my toaster oven, i only set it to like 355 because usually things cook much faster in my toaster oven, and then i ended up putting them in for about 10 minutes longer than suggested, i kept a close eye on them and took them out when i saw that they were nice and crispy. also what kind of pan did you use? maybe they werent spread out enough in your pan?

Reply

Annie November 22, 2011 at 8:44 am

I used a heavy-duty full sized baking sheet. Maybe I overcrowded them.. its definitely worth a second go.. I am going to try again!

I found your website through stumbleupon yesterday morning and made these to go with a surf/turf meal last night, and they were a big hit! We really can’t go wrong with any kind of grilled/roasted/mashed/smashed/baked potato in my house, and this one was impressive! Thanks for sharing!

Reply

Ali January 13, 2012 at 7:11 pm

Deliciously addicting! Yum! Served at dinner but would make a great substitute for hash browns at breakfast. One adjustment I will make for next time is stirring the potatoes before 30 minutes. They were sticking a bit at that point, even with the non-stick spray.

Reply

Ellen Morris February 4, 2012 at 7:03 pm

I like these with red potatoes. I’ve made them a lot, and they’re good. If you mix the coating in a deep bowl and then add the potatoes, it’s easier to give them a good stir to coat them with everything. Use a child-cheater* to make sure the sides are scraped and the potatoes are completely turned over. Make sure you have enough olive oil. Then, while they’re in the oven, give them a stir’n'scrape to turn everything over every 15 minutes until they’re done. *spatula (my mom always called them child-cheaters and I got the habit)
