Recipe Details

Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 30 minutes
Total Time: 40 minutes
Servings: 4

Ingredients

• 1 ½ pounds baby potatoes
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
• ½ teaspoon paprika
• ½ teaspoon salt
• ¼ teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped

How to Make Crispy Garlic Parmesan Potatoes

1. Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
2. Wash the baby potatoes well and cut them in half. If some potatoes are larger, cut them into smaller pieces so they cook evenly.
3. In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, minced garlic, Parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
4. Add the potatoes and toss well until each piece is evenly coated with the garlic and Parmesan mixture.
5. Arrange the potatoes cut-side down on the baking sheet, leaving a little space between the pieces. This helps the edges become nicely crisp.
6. Bake for about 25–30 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender inside and golden and crispy around the edges.
7. Remove the potatoes from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes. Sprinkle with fresh parsley before serving.

Kitchen Tip

For extra crispy potatoes, make sure the potatoes are arranged in a single layer and are not too close together. Giving them enough space allows the hot air to circulate around the edges.

What to Serve With Garlic Parmesan Potatoes

These potatoes are a great match for roasted chicken, grilled chicken, steak, or baked fish. They also work well alongside a simple green salad or roasted vegetables.

For a casual dinner, serve them warm with your favorite dipping sauce. The crispy Parmesan coating makes them especially good straight from the oven.

Crispy garlic Parmesan potatoes are one of those easy recipes that can fit into almost any meal. The preparation is quick, the ingredients are easy to find, and the finished potatoes have plenty of flavor without requiring complicated cooking techniques.

Good to Know
