These crispy garlic parmesan crusted potatoes are golden and crunchy on the outside, tender on the inside, and bursting with savory flavor. Coated in garlic, cheese, and herbs, they make the perfect side dish or snack.

Ingredients

  • 1.5 lbs baby potatoes or small Yukon golds, halved
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 2–3 cloves garlic, minced (or 1 tsp garlic powder)
  • 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
  • 1 tsp dried oregano or Italian seasoning
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 tbsp chopped fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil.
  2. In a bowl, toss halved potatoes with olive oil, garlic, oregano, salt, and pepper until coated.
  3. Sprinkle a thin, even layer of grated parmesan on the baking sheet where each potato half will go.
  4. Place potatoes cut-side down on the cheese and press lightly to help it stick.
  5. Roast for 25–30 minutes, or until potatoes are tender and the bottoms are golden and crispy.
  6. Let cool for 2–3 minutes before lifting carefully with a spatula to keep the crust intact.
  7. Garnish with fresh parsley and a sprinkle of extra parmesan if desired. Serve warm.

Notes

  • Add chili flakes or smoked paprika for heat.
  • Swap parmesan for pecorino or a dairy-free alternative.
  • Use rosemary or thyme for extra herb flavor.
  • Air fryer method: Cook at 400°F for 15–20 minutes, checking halfway.
  • Leave the skins on for added texture and structure.
