These Crispy Parmesan Crusted Baby Potatoes are the kind of side dish that steals the spotlight. Roasted until golden with a garlicky herb-Parmesan crust, they’re crunchy on the outside, tender inside, and packed with bold flavor. Perfect for weeknight dinners, holiday tables, or game-day snacking — and so easy to customize with spices or dipping sauces.
Ingredients
3 lbs baby potatoes (golden, red, or mixed)
6 tbsp olive oil
2 cups grated Parmesan cheese
2 tsp garlic powder
2 tsp onion powder
2 tsp dried oregano
2 tsp paprika
Salt and black pepper, to taste
Optional: chili flakes for a kick, or lemon zest for brightness
Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
Prep the potatoes: Preheat oven to 425°F. Halve the potatoes and toss with 3 tbsp olive oil, salt, pepper, and all the seasonings.
Create the crust: On a parchment-lined baking sheet, drizzle remaining olive oil and sprinkle Parmesan in small mounds. Press a potato half (cut side down) onto each mound.
Roast: Bake for 30–35 minutes, or until the Parmesan is golden and the potatoes are fork-tender.
Cool slightly: Let them sit 5 minutes before lifting with a spatula to keep the cheesy crust intact.
Garnish & serve: Sprinkle with parsley and serve hot with your favorite dip — ranch, aioli, or spicy ketchup.
