Mouthwatering Crispy Parmesan Potatoes are golden, crunchy, and packed with cheesy, savory flavor. Roasted with Parmesan and simple seasonings, they’re the perfect side dish or snack—crispy on the outside, fluffy inside, and irresistibly delicious.

Ingredients

  • 1.5 lbs baby potatoes or Yukon gold potatoes, halved or quartered
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or grease it lightly.
  2. In a large bowl, toss the potatoes with olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
  3. Sprinkle the grated Parmesan on the prepared baking sheet in mounds or a layer where the potatoes will be placed.
  4. Press the cut side of each potato firmly onto the Parmesan so it sticks.
  5. Roast for 25–30 minutes until the bottoms are golden and crispy.
  6. Let rest for 5 minutes, then gently lift potatoes with a spatula to keep the cheese crust intact.
  7. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired and serve immediately.

Notes

  • Try shredded cheddar or a Parmesan-Romano blend for a different cheese twist.
  • Add Italian seasoning or chili flakes for extra flavor or heat.
  • For stronger garlic flavor, toss with fresh minced garlic instead of garlic powder.
  • Use the oven or air fryer to reheat and keep them crispy.
  • These are naturally gluten-free—just check cheese labels if pre-grated.
