Step by Step Guide
Be sure to check out the full recipe and ingredient list below
Preheat your oven to 425°F and add 2 tablespoons of olive oil to the bottom of a baking dish. I use a medium-sized porcelain baking dish, but whatever you have will work.
While the oven is preheating, wash and cut your potatoes. I prefer using baby red potatoes, but you can also use regular potatoes; just ensure they are cut into medium-sized chunks.
Dump your potatoes into the oiled baking dish, then sprinkle the herbs and spices on top. The recipe calls for garlic powder, onion powder, rosemary, thyme, salt, and pepper; however, feel free to experiment and create your own blend of herbs and spices.
Finally, top the potatoes with the butter, making sure it’s distributed evenly on top. Then, sprinkle half of the Parmesan cheese over the top.
Bake for 40 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender, crispy, and golden. Toss the potatoes to ensure they’re evenly coated in oil and seasonings, then sprinkle the top with the remaining Parmesan cheese. Pop it back in the oven for another 5 minutes to finish them off.

Tips for Success
- Use baby red potatoes for the best skin-to-potato ratio.
- Don’t overcrowd the baking dish! This ensures even roasting and crispy edges.
- Toss the potatoes halfway through baking. This helps them cook evenly and get extra crispy.
Recipe FAQs
Can I make these potatoes ahead of time? Yes! Roast them as directed and reheat in a 375°F oven for about 10 minutes before serving.
Can I use fresh herbs instead of dried? Absolutely! Use about one tablespoon of fresh herbs in place of the dried versions.
How do I store leftovers? Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. Reheat in the oven or air fryer for best results.
And that’s it! These Parmesan Herb Roasted Potatoes are the perfect stress-free side dish that will impress with minimal effort. Whether for a weeknight dinner or a festive holiday table, they’re sure to be a favorite. Enjoy!
