Description
Golden and crispy on the outside, soft and fluffy on the inside, these Crispy Cheesy Garlic Potatoes are the ultimate comfort side dish that deserves center stage. Each bite is coated in a perfect blend of savory garlic, nutty Parmesan, and fresh herbs that cling to the crackly edges of baby potatoes. They’re oven-roasted until deeply golden and then tossed in a quick, garlicky cheese blend that melts right into the warm potatoes. Perfect for quick breakfast, easy dinner, or holiday food ideas.
Ingredients
2 pounds baby potatoes
2 tablespoons olive oil
4 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
0.5 cup grated Parmesan cheese
2 tablespoons chopped parsley
0.75 teaspoon salt
0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
Instructions
1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add baby potatoes and simmer for 12 minutes until just fork-tender. Drain and cool slightly, then halve each potato.
2. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Toss halved potatoes with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Arrange cut-side down on a baking sheet. Roast for 30–35 minutes until crisp and golden.
3. Melt butter in a pan and sauté minced garlic for 1 minute until fragrant.
4. Transfer roasted potatoes to a bowl. Pour garlic butter over them.
5. Sprinkle with Parmesan and parsley. Toss gently to coat and serve hot.
Notes
Don’t overcrowd the baking sheet or the potatoes will steam instead of crisp.
Grate the Parmesan finely so it melts quickly and coats better.
For extra crispiness, let potatoes rest for 5 minutes before tossing with butter and cheese.
