Perfectly crisp-tender garlicky, buttery roasted potatoes. The most perfect side dish for all your meals!

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

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).

made these potatoes for dinner and they were just like you said. delicious. crisp on the outside and tender on the inside. found the recipe on pinterest and will definitely make again. thanks for sharing a great recipe.
These potatoes were utterly fantastic. Will be my go to taters from now on.
These were a huge hit! I left off the basil and thyme and went easy on the rest because of picky kids and everyone loved them. Thanks!
These look delicious! But is there any way you could make these using russet potatoes instead? What would you recommend? Thanks!
Russet potatoes should work just fine.
Made them for my book group and everyone loved them!! They’re SO GOOD! These are going to be my go-to side dish. Didn’t hurt that the recipe was so quick and easy.
These were fantastic! Making them again tonight.. thank you!
This makes a perfect fit with roast lamb – as does your garlic roast carrots recipe! . I am looking forward to my Sunday Roast this week!
Made these last night to go along in the oven with a lemony dill baked salmon. Excellent partner! I’m making them again as “bites” to take with a dipping sauce to a football playoff party today. Will cook them like the recipe says, then load them in my crock pot (pre-warmed, and lined with a paper towel on bottom and one laid in and pinned down with the lid to collect any moisture) for the ride over to the friends house and just keep them on warm. Yummy, gotta get buisy
Great idea! I never would have thought of that.
What goes good with these? They look AMAZING!
You can really pair any main dish with this – that’s the beauty of this recipe!
Try it and loves the way the potatoes taste. Great recipe.
They were very good. Next time I am going to cut them into smaller pieces though.
I’m going to make these tonight with the standing rib roast I got for my mom’s birthday and a nice salad. Here’s hoping they taste as good they sound (and as good as I know they’re going to smell)!
So these are in the oven right now and it smells unbelievable! Can’t wait for dinner!
Dinner is served! Thanks a bunch Chung-Ah!
Omigosh, I am so glad I found this blog! I made these potatoes last night and they were fabulous. At first I was a bit disconcerted that the parm wasn’t really sticking to the potatoes, but those crunchy bits that ended up on the pan were the perfect accompaniment to the delicious potatoes. Much better by far than the garlic parmesan potatoes I had been making.
I’ve bookmarked several other intriguing recipes and can’t wait to try them. Thank you.
Yup. Definitely making these tonight.
Roasted potatoes are one of my favorite comfort foods. Potatoes are one of the “dirty dozen” so buying organic is a good option to reduce chemical exposure.
I have one word for these….DELICIOUS!!
Found this recipe on Pinterest. All I can say is….YUM!
