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.

Garlic Parmesan Roasted Potatoes: Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use fresh herbs instead?

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.

Do I have to parboil the potatoes beforehand?

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.

Can I make this ahead of time?

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).
