Crispy Parmesan Roasted Potatoes: 15-Min Easy Weeknight Side

  • Author: Sarah
  • Total Time: 45-50 minutes
  • Yield: 4-6 servings 1x

Description

These crispy parmesan roasted potatoes are the perfect easy weeknight side dish. With just a few pantry ingredients and a simple two-stage roasting method, you get golden, crunchy potatoes that are far superior to frozen fries.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 large russet potatoes (about 2 lbs / 900g), washed and cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese (50g)
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
  • 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large half-sheet baking pan (13×18 inches) with parchment paper or lightly grease with olive oil.
  2. Place the cubed potatoes in a large mixing bowl.
  3. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with garlic powder, salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning. Toss until potatoes are evenly coated and shiny.
  4. Spread potatoes in a single layer on the baking sheet, ensuring they are not touching to allow for proper crisping.
  5. Roast for 15 minutes to dry out the surface and begin cooking.
  6. Remove pan from oven. Sprinkle freshly grated parmesan evenly over the potatoes. Gently toss to coat the potatoes with cheese.
  7. Return to oven and roast for another 15-20 minutes, or until potatoes are fork-tender and cheese is golden brown and crispy.
  8. Remove from oven and let cool for 2 minutes to allow cheese to harden slightly.
  9. Sprinkle with fresh parsley and red pepper flakes if using. Serve immediately.

Notes

For extra crispiness, ensure potatoes are in a single layer and not crowded on the pan. Grate your own parmesan cheese; pre-grated cheese contains anti-caking agents that prevent proper crisping. If the cheese browns too quickly, tent loosely with foil. For a vegan version, substitute parmesan with nutritional yeast and add cornstarch to the oil mixture.
