If you are looking for a super easy side dish packed with flavor, you have to try these Garlic Parmesan Roasted Potatoes! Baby potatoes are tossed in a mixture of parmesan cheese, oil, garlic, salt, paprika, and pepper, and oven-roasted until golden and fork-tender. Then, the roasted potatoes are sprinkled with even more parmesan cheese! I loved them so much, that I could have eaten the entire batch! Serve them as a side dish with any meal, you won’t be disappointed. After you enjoy these flavorful roasted potatoes, you will want to try my Loaded Roasted Potatoes, next!
Ingredients & Substitutions
- Potatoes: Look for baby potatoes to use, then wash and cut them in half. If using larger potatoes like Russet, Yukon gold, or red potatoes, try to cut them as close to the same size as you can. Then, adjust the baking time as needed.
- Parmesan Cheese: Freshly grated parmesan is best (as compared to the pre-cut variety). You will use half of it in the potato coating and reserve the other half for sprinkling over the freshly roasted potatoes.
- Oil: I prefer using extra virgin olive oil for its flavor, quality, and high smoke point. Regular olive oil, canola oil, or vegetable oil would also work.
- Seasonings: Minced garlic, kosher salt, paprika, and black pepper are added to the parmesan and oil mixture.
What To Serve With Garlic Parmesan Roasted Potatoes
These roasted are so flavorful, you will be tempted to eat them all before you even serve them! (At least, that was true for me…) But, they would go well with so many main dishes. Here are a few I recommend:
- Grilled or roasted meats (like shredded chicken, steak bites, baked pork chops)
- Air Fryer Blackened Salmon
- Magic Meatloaf
- Roasted vegetables (like asparagus, Brussels sprouts, or green beans)
- Crusty bread (French baguette or Ciabatta)
- Easy dinner rolls
- Focaccia breadsticks
How To Store Garlic Parmesan Roasted Potatoes
To store these roasted potatoes, first, let them cool completely. Next, keep them in an airtight container in the refrigerator. They will last up to 3-4 days. For the best results (and to crisp up the potatoes again) reheat them in the oven. You can use the microwave, but that may make them softer (but still good)!
Can I Freeze Roasted Potatoes?
Yes, you can freeze these garlic parmesan roasted potatoes. First, let the potatoes cool completely. Next, place them into a single layer on a baking sheet and into the freezer for an hour or two. Once frozen, store the potatoes in an airtight freezer bag or container. Label and date the container; they will last up to 2-3 months. When ready, reheat the potatoes directly from frozen or let them thaw in the refrigerator before reheating.

Have you tried using an air fryer, if you have can you provide details and results?
I haven’t tried these in the air fryer, but I would assume it’s the same temperature and similar timing. 🙂
