Perfectly crisp-tender garlicky, buttery roasted potatoes. The most perfect side dish for all your meals!
Featured Comment
Hello favorite side dish of the season. Crispy potatoes, plenty of garlic, freshly grated Parm, an assortment of herbs and one single sheet pan. We have everything we need right here, right now.
Ingredients
Red potatoes
Yukon gold, russet potatoes or even sweet potatoes can also be used here. We recommend cutting them as uniformly as possible for even cooking.
Olive oil
Good quality olive oil is key here. We personally love California Olive Ranch. It’s our go-to bottle that we always have on hand, perfect for grilling, marinades, drizzling and even baking.
Garlic
Bring on the garlicky goodness.
Thyme, oregano and basil
Pantry staples! Add as little or as much to your heart’s content. Fresh herbs can be used as well.
Parmesan
Freshly grated Parm or Parmigiano-Reggiano is best (we personally LOVE the nutty salty flavors of Parmigiano-Reggiano).
Unsalted butter
Unsalted butter to finish the dish, adding just a little bit of richness. Unsalted allows you to add as much salt (or as little) salt in your dish. It allows for more control and consistency. You can replace unsalted butter with salted butter in a pinch, reducing the amount of salt indicated in the recipe, and adding to taste.
When you’re in need of a quick side dish that can pair well with anything and everything, this is it. It’s low maintenance and versatile with the easiest clean up known to man. Toss everything onto a sheet pan (why dirty another bowl), roast, stir, serve. Your potato game will never be the same again – it will be elevated forever.

Not at all. The key to crisp-tender roasted potatoes is a sheet pan, high heat, a thorough coating of olive oil + herbs and a little bit of patience.
Absolutely! Roasted potatoes reheat very well in the oven (400°F for 10-15 minutes) or in the air fryer (400°F for 3-4 minutes).

These were awesome, everyone loved them! Thanks
This was quick, easy, and awesome. Thanks
I have made this recipe many times and it’s excellent- its my go to recipe whenever we have family over for breakfast or brunch. Also goes really well with a holiday ham dinner. I add it alongside asparagus and make extra hollandaise for the potatoes. The only change I make is to skip the butter. Turns out really good every time. Thank you!
I first made Chunga’s Chicken and potatoes with garlic cream sauce about 5years ago. I make it anytime I want to make a ‘sure fire’ delicious meal. I have been asked for the recipe many times and always send a link to the recipe on Chunga’s website – I’m sure they probably go on to make other recipes from the website. I have just ordered her book…5 years later!
This was a really great recipe. Since I live by myselft I used a bag of of the mini red potatoes which was 1 1 1/2 lbs and made half of the recipe. It was so good! It gave me three large portions.
Just made a half recipe…and it was delish!! Used golden potatoes cause that was what I had, did not use parsley cause I didn’t have any!! And I will make these again, soon! YUMMY!!
I have made this recipe countless times and my family goes nuts every time. Thanks for sharing!
Best potatoes! My family loves these potatoes! They’re the most requested side dish in our house.
These are amazing!!! I used little purple & yellow potatoes. I needed them done a little faster, so I microwaved the potato pieces (with oil & spices) for 2 minutes before putting on the sheet & baking. Everyone devoured them!
Made these last night — they were delicious! I only had Yukon gold potatoes on hand, so they took longer to cook, but the flavor great. The potatoes were crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside. These are going into the regular rotation. Thank you!
The garlic burned. It form a crispy coat with the cheese. Not happy with the burn garlic flavor. However the texture of the potatoes was good.
Oh my !!!! These taste absolutely amazing ! My husband and I are obsessed with these and I make them at least twice a week. They go with anything and everything but we often make it with chicken souvlaki’s and greek salad..soooo soo good ! I make enough for left overs but usually by the end of the night they are gone. Thanks for this amazing recipe !
I’m picky about potatoes, but these were awesome! I followed the recipe to a T, but finished them off on the grill for 5 minutes. Got some nice grill marks and added Smokey flavor. My new favorite small potato recipe!
I am making this now .
I used fresh everything .
Added in carrots and an assortment of potatoes from red to purple.
And i used toasted garlic olive oil !
Love this recipe! My second time making this & I added cut cauliflower along with the potatoes. Yummy! Thank you for such an easy, delicious recipe!
Hi there! Making this for Christmas Eve! Sounds incredible! Can I make this ahead of time? If so how do you suggest re-heating?
Thank you and happy holidays!
This is my new go to recipe for roasted potatoes and a new family favorite. The recipe was easy to follow.
So easy and delicious
I literally can’t stop eating these roasted potatoes!! Putting these on the menu for Thanksgiving this year instead of mashed potatoes – they are that good!!
So, so, soooo goood!
I made these scrumptious potatoes last week as a side dish with grilled steak and my mouth was in heaven! WOW! One bite and you will see what I mean. The herbs are perfectly balanced and the fresh grated parmesan carries this dish over the top. Keep your potato cuts small enough to ensure they cook through in the prescribed time and be prepared to sigh with satisfaction.
