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.

Garlic Parmesan Roasted Potatoes: Frequently Asked Questions
Absolutely! But because dried herbs are often more potent/concentrated than fresh herbs, you need less when using dry. The correct ratio is 1 tablespoon fresh herbs to 1 teaspoon dried herbs.
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).

can you use regular potatos instead of red?
Yes, absolutely.
Oh my word, I made these for dinner and the taste is out of this world… thanks for sharing, I’ve been looking for different things to cook and this dish made the “must have” list!
Just made these for me and my husband and two daughters (9 & 2) paired with steak for the grown ups and kosher hot dogs for the kids, and a romaine salad. Love the crispiness of the parm as it melted to the baking sheet. My husband sends his thanks! This is a keeper 🙂 thanks
Would you change anything if using baby red potatoes? Thanks.
Cooking time may have to be adjusted as needed.
How long would you recommend cooking the baby potatoes?
Unfortunately, without further recipe testing, I cannot answer with certainty. As always, please use your best judgment regarding substitutions and modifications.
These are in my oven right now and the smell is to die for!! I can’t wait to devour them. 🙂
Call me dense. This recipe isn’t clear about how to exactly assemble, or what to do with the ingredients. I made them from finding the recipe on my cell phone and ended up combining everything only to figure out I don’t think that’s what it means. It talks about gently tossing ingredients. Does the olive oil get brushed on to the potatoes first? Where does the butter come in? They’re baking now but they’re not gonna look like the pictures.
Please refer to the directions.
Do you think this will this still be good without the parm?
Perhaps. However, the Parmesan is a key ingredient in this recipe!
what does it mean to stir in the butter? I’m confused on when/how the butter is being added with the potatoes on a baking sheet.
You can stir it in right onto the sheet pan. Why dirty another pan?
Love this recipe. I have found some excellent dishes like this one online. We are getting fat and happy with all these. Try chicken casserole sometimes.
This recipe looks excellent. I am going make this Friday night. I also am going to try the rotisserie chicken with them.
looks wonderful!

Preheat the grill to medium-high. Brush the chickens with oil and season the outside and cavities with salt and pepper. Skewer the chickens onto the rotisserie rod and grill, on the rotisserie, for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the chicken is golden brown and just cooked through.

Is it okay to marinate them over night with olive oil and all the ingredients? (minus the parm cheese, ill do that before i pop em in the oven)
Yes, absolutely.
I am fixing these for dinner tonight.
Can these be frozen? if So what stage can they be frozen in?
I find that this recipe is best when fresh potatoes are used, but as always, please use your best judgment.
These are wonderful. I used them with extra salt and had fried chicken with them. Absolutely fantastic
These are excellent with rotisserie chicken and a hot fresh roll. I made these last night and they were a huge hit. No wonder these looks so good, they are made with love.
Tried these for the first time last night. My hubbyand I loved these! Thanks for the recipe.
These were SOOOOO good!!!
I use freshly peeled potatoes, put the in a baking bag with 1 TSP oil and a packet of ranch zesty dressing and bake. But yours looks so much better. I am definitely having this with rotisserie chicken.
