Golden and crispy on the outside, tender on the inside—these Parmesan Crusted Potatoes are the ultimate side dish. Coated with a flavorful crust of cheese and seasoning, they’re oven-roasted to perfection and ideal for pairing with just about any meal.

Ingredients

Scale

Potatoes

  • 1.5 lbs baby gold or Yukon gold potatoes (about 10–12 small potatoes)

Parmesan Coating

  • 3/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

Other

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil or melted butter
  • 1 tablespoon chopped parsley (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare Baking Sheet: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it to prevent sticking.
  2. Slice and Score Potatoes: Slice the potatoes in half lengthwise. Optionally, score the cut side lightly with a knife to help flavors absorb better and create extra texture.
  3. Make the Parmesan Mixture: In a small bowl, combine grated Parmesan, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Spread this mixture evenly across the prepared baking sheet to form a cheesy layer.
  4. Prepare Potatoes for Baking: Brush the cut side of the potato halves with olive oil or melted butter. Place them cut-side down onto the Parmesan mixture on the baking sheet, pressing gently so the cheese sticks.
  5. Roast the Potatoes: Bake for 25-30 minutes or until the potatoes are fork-tender and the Parmesan crust is golden brown and crispy.
  6. Serve and Garnish: Let the potatoes cool for a couple of minutes before gently lifting them from the tray. Sprinkle with chopped parsley and a little extra Parmesan if desired.

Notes

  • To prevent Parmesan from burning, do not bake above 400°F and use parchment paper or lightly greased foil.
  • Freshly grated Parmesan cheese provides the best flavor and texture, though pre-grated can be used if it contains no fillers.
  • You can prep potatoes and Parmesan mixture a few hours ahead, store separately, then assemble and bake just before serving.
  • This recipe is naturally gluten-free if using uncontaminated Parmesan.
  • Serve with dips like sour cream, garlic aioli, or spicy sriracha mayo for extra flavor.
  • Parmesan is best for crisping, but blends with Asiago or Romano cheeses can also work well.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days; reheat in the oven at 375°F for 10–15 minutes to restore crispiness.
