Oven-Roasted Potatoes Recipe

A fool-proof recipe! Crisp on the outside and fluffy on the inside, roasted potatoes are a simple, easy side dish that goes with pretty much any meal! From roast chicken to a great steak! Feel free to get creative with seasonings: Add your favorite seasonings based on what’s in your spice cupboard or what herbs are growing in your garden!

Feel free to adapt the amount of garlic used in this recipe.
If you don’t like parsley, you can use fresh chopped rosemary or thyme. Dried herbs would work just as well but go easy because they can overpower the flavor of the potatoes.
Roasting potatoes in a hot, preheated oven set at a high heat gives you the best, crispy results with melt-in-your-mouth fluffy interiors.

How to roast potatoes

Making oven-roasted potatoes tossed with Parmesan is so incredibly simple that it’s our go-to side dish!

The first step to making great oven-roasted potatoes is choosing the right potato variety. Use baby red potatoes or mix with small Yukon golds. German butterballs or fingerling potatoes would also be a good choice.
Next, preheat the oven to a very hot temperature – 400º F (200°C).
Wash potatoes and chop your potatoes into similar-sized pieces – we like them quartered or halved if the baby potatoes are already small. This step is crucial to ensure even cooking.
Parboil potatoes in boiling water for 5 to 8 minutes to precook them. They’ll be more tender on the inside when roasting.
To guarantee an even distribution of flavor, mix the seasoning together with butter and freshly grated parmesan before tossing in your potatoes. Toss the potatoes in the parmesan mixture evenly.
Transfer the potatoes to a sheet pan and spread them out into 1 layer. Roast in the oven for 40 minutes to 1 hour or until browned and crisp. Flip once or twice with a spatula during cooking in order to ensure even browning.

What temperature to roast potatoes

As we said earlier, roast potatoes at least 400°F (200°C) for the best, golden results. Depending on how busy you are in the kitchen, you can cook potatoes at a lower temperature if necessary – but you may need a longer roasting time. This leads us to…

How long to roast potatoes

For crispy roast potatoes on the outside, roast them at a higher temperature for the best, golden results: normally at 400°F (200°C) for 40 minutes to 1 hour, while turning them a couple of times to ensure they crisp up all over. Garlic and parmesan will stick to the potato flesh and give that crisp golden crust. If you need more time, roast at 350ºF (180ºC) for 1 hour to 1:20 hour.

Directions

How To Roast Potatoes withGarlic Butter Parmesan

1.Preheat your oven to 400ºF (200°C) and place a rack at the bottom.

2. Wash the potatoes and then slice them in quarter

3. Grease a large baking sheet with non-stick spray or olive oil and set aside.

4. Parboil baby red potatoes in boiling water for 5 to 8 minutes to precook them. The potatoes will be more tender on the inside when roasting.

5. In a large bowl, combine 1/4 cup of olive oil, garlic, salt, herbs, pepper, and parmesan cheese, mixing to combine. Add a little more olive oil if the parmesan cheese has absorbed most of it.

6. Toss parboiled potatoes through the garlic parmesan mixture to evenly coat.

7. Arrange the potatoes on the prepared baking sheet, cut side down, and in a single layer.

8. Roast the potatoesfor 25 minutes, turning after 15 minutes with tongs or a spatula, until potatoes are browned and crisped at the edges.

9. In the meantime, gently melt butter in the microwave and combine with fresh chopped parsley. Remove the roasted potatoes from the oven, and drizzle with the butter parsley sauce. Add bacon bits, and toss to coat well.

10. Serve your roastedpotatoes with garlic butter and parmesanimmediately. Enjoy! ❤️

Roasted potatoes tips

For extra golden potatoes, youcan broil the potatoes for 2-4 minutes after roasting.
Parboiling potatoes is optional, if you want to skip this step, just roast potatoes for 35 – 40 minutes.
Allow the potatoes to cool down for a couple of minutes on the bakingsheet before removing them. This will ensure parmesan sticks to the potatoes, not on the baking sheet surface.
The best part is when you pour the melted butter with parsley over the roasted potatoes. Do not skimp on this!

Meat, poultry, and even fish – anything goes great with these crispy, garlicky potatoes!

These roasted potatoes leftovers will be great in a potato salad, or as a topping in your soups and stews.

These potatoes are absolute perfection. At first I thought it was too over seasoned, but I was wrong. Followed the directions exactly and they turned out so good! There were no leftovers, which means the family liked them as well. I was told I'd have to make these again, which I definitely will!!

These potatoes are out of this world good. We had no leftovers!! Thank you for a terrific recipe. I like to make things ahead so I can enjoy time with friends when they come over---I did cut the potatoes ahead and place in a ziplock bag & coated with olive oil, fresh garlic & seasonings/some parsley & put in the fridge for a few hours prior to roasting-- I added the parmesan right before baking-- I've made this without the parmesan and was still wonderful. It worked wonderfully to prep ahead, I just squeezed as much air from the bag as possible. Yummmmy recipe. Thank you for sharing it.

Potatoes turned out great. Husband and I both loved them. Only problem I had was they were still hot from parboiling when I tossed with Parmesan mixture. Parmesan was melting into a disintegrated mess. Ended up tasting great but they probably are better when they are tossed correctly with the Parmesan. I don’t know how others have done it, it seems like it should be an easy fix. Where did I go wrong?

To those who love the crispness, It's important to note that the main way you achieve this from tossing is actually to like, really, really toss them thoroughly. The recipe/article doesn't bother to mention this but while yes, you're tossing to coat Iin Ingredients, but it also breaks down the starch, which eventually turns into somewhat of a liquid/paste (you want that) that should coat all the potatoes. THAT is actually what will fry and turn the outside of the potatoes crispy when cooked.

I’m not one to leave many reviews, but I just had to. These potatoes are so freakin good! I didn’t even add the bacon (really don’t need to). They are so easy and flavorful. My picky eater husband said yeah make them again. Twice this week! Thanks for a winner recipe.
Beth

I made them for a group last week.. and I’ve never seen anyone before picking at the potatoes ..even when the meal was finished..(one told me that she usually doesn’t like potatoes..but she also was picking at them all evening long! Thank you! I certainly will be making this again!

This recipe was fantastic! I had some Yukon Gold potatoes that I needed to use up and they worked just as well as the reds would have. My boyfriend and my best friend both said these need to become a staple in our diet. Thank you so much for sharing!

FAQs

Why aren't my oven roasted potatoes crispy? ›

If you over-crowded the pan so that there isn't enough space for the potatoes to rest on the pan without touching each other, it will prevent the water from evaporating and making the potatoes crispy.

How do you keep garlic from burning when roasting potatoes? ›

Should you remove starch from roast potatoes? ›

This is, in my opinion, an old wives tale that actually is useless. Unless one shreds the potatoes, then boils them and then uses some chemical process to remove the starch, there will always be starch in the potato. Cook them any way you want but don't waste time on this useless ritual.

Why do people soak potatoes in water before cooking? ›

Soaking potatoes in water helps remove excess starch. Excess starch can inhibit the potatoes from cooking evenly as well as creating a gummy or sticky texture on the outside of your potatoes. Cold water is used because hot water would react with the starch activating it, making it harder to separate from the potatoes.

Should you wash potatoes before roasting? ›

You should certainly rinse the potatoes — we prefer russets — to remove any dirt and debris. You can even give them a quick scrub with a vegetable brush. But you need to dry the spuds well after the bath. Excess moisture on the skin can seep into the potato during baking and cause soggy skins.
