How to Make Parmesan Potatoes
Step 1 – Preheat the Oven to 425 Degrees Fahrenheit.
Cut the baby potatoes in half lengthwise and score each potato with a crosshatch pattern like a tic tac toe board. Place the halved potatoes in a large bowl. In another bowl mix together all of the spices and parmesan cheese.
Step 2 – Make the Parmesan Mixture by placing butter into a baking dish and then placing into preheated oven until butter is melted. Removed baking dish with melted butter from oven.
Mix in the parmesan and spices mixture with the melted butter and stir until combined. Spread the parmesan mixture evenly in baking dish.
Step 3 – Place Potatoes into Parmesan Mixture cut side down into the baking dish leaving a little bit of space between the potatoes. Brush the tops of the potatoes with the reserved Tablespoon of melted butter. A drizzle of olive oil can also be used.

Step 4 – Cooking Oven Roasted Parmesan Potatoes – Place the baking dish with parmesan potatoes in the oven on the center rack. Bake potatoes 35 to 45 minutes until crispy parmesan potatoes are golden brown.
Step 5 – Remove the oven roasted parmesan potatoes and let sit for a few minutes to let the parmesan mixture harden up a bit. Remove potatoes carefully with a spatula. Be a little bit gentle to not scrape off the cheesy crust.
TIP: I find you end up with more crispy parmesan cheese mixture intact if you let the potatoes sit for a few minutes.
Tips for Crispy Parmesan Roasted Potatoes
- Use potatoes that are uniform in size. This will ensure an even cooking time and you will end up with consistant crispy parmesan potatoes.
- Be sure to score the potatoes. Do not skip this step. This technique enables the potatoes to absorb all the flavor of the butter, spices and parmesan cheese mixture.
- Use the best quality ingredients for the best results. Do not use store bought grated parmesan cheese to make this. Use fresh grated parmesan. Danish or Irish Kerrygold butter. Do not use margarine.
- Don’t crowd the baking dish. Place potatoes in an even layer. Do not pile on top of each other. Maximum contact to the baking dish will ensure better crispy parmesan potatoes.
- Serve Immediately while crispy. Just like any potato recipe serve it right away to enjoy the crispy yummy texture. As potatoes sit the crispiness diminishes.
Popular Substitutions and Variations
- Use the leftovers for another dish. It turns out that these parmesan potatoes make an excellent addition to a breakfast of eggs and bacon or even used in a breakfast skillet with sautéed peppers, onions and eggs. Top with chopped tomato and chopped cilantro and parsley for that extra pop.
- Change up the type of cheese. Substitute the parmesan cheese for grated cheddar cheese or grated Asiago cheese. Mix together your favorite cheeses to create something new.
- Fresh herbs make a difference. Use some chopped cilantro, parsley or fresh chopped chives for an added delicious variation to sprinkle on top.
- Make the roasted potatoes spicy. Add some red pepper flakes or cayenne pepper to the spice mixture for a spicy kick.
