How to Bake Garlic Parmesan Crusted Potatoes
Crank your oven to a toasty 425°F, getting ready to transform simple potatoes into a golden, crispy delight.
Chop those baby potatoes into perfect halves, creating little flavor-catching surfaces that will get wonderfully crunchy.
Grab a paper towel and give each potato half a loving pat-down, removing any excess moisture to guarantee an irresistibly crisp exterior.
Toss your potato pieces with olive oil, then shower them with minced garlic, grated Parmesan, salt, and a sprinkle of herbs, making sure every potato is dressed to impress.
Spread the seasoned potatoes cut-side down on a lined baking sheet, ensuring they’re not crowded so each one can crisp up beautifully.
Slide the baking sheet into the hot oven and let those potatoes sizzle for about 25-30 minutes, turning them halfway through to achieve an even, golden-brown crust.
Pull out your crispy, cheesy potatoes and watch them disappear faster than you can say “seconds, please!” Garnish with fresh herbs if you’re feeling fancy.

Ingredients
- 1.5 pounds (680 grams) baby potatoes (Yukon gold or red)
- ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 3 tablespoons (45 ml) unsalted butter, melted
- 2 tablespoons (30 ml) olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- ½ teaspoon paprika
- ½ teaspoon dried oregano (or Italian seasoning)
- ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional, for spice)

Instructions
- Preparation: Thoroughly rinse baby potatoes under cool water, removing dirt and debris, then slice into uniform halves with a sharp knife.
- Seasoning Prep: Pat potato segments completely dry with paper towels to ensure maximum crispness, then transfer to a large mixing bowl.
- Flavor Infusion: Drizzle olive oil over potatoes, tossing gently to coat evenly. Sprinkle parmesan cheese, minced garlic, dried herbs, salt, and cracked black pepper, massaging seasonings deeply into potato surfaces.
- Roasting Setup: Arrange seasoned potato halves cut-side down on a rimmed baking sheet, ensuring ample spacing for optimal crispiness and even browning.
- Oven Transformation: Roast in a preheated oven at 425F (220C) for 25-30 minutes, developing a deep golden exterior and achieving a supremely crunchy texture.
- Finishing Touch: Remove from oven and allow potatoes to rest briefly, then garnish with additional fresh herbs or parmesan cheese before serving immediately while hot and crisp.
Notes
- Potato Prep Precision: Pat potatoes completely dry to ensure maximum crispiness and prevent soggy results.
- Strategic Positioning: Place potatoes cut-side down on baking sheet for optimal golden-brown caramelization and crisp edges.
