Italian Parmesan Roasted Potatoes
Description
This recipe for Italian Parmesan Roasted Potatoes starts by simmering halved new potatoes until tender. A seasoning mix of crushed garlic, dried oregano, salt, and pepper is combined with olive oil. After heating the oil in the oven, the potatoes are added and coated with the garlic herb blend before roasting for 25 minutes. Finally, grated Parmesan is sprinkled over the potatoes and they roast an additional 5 minutes, forming a crisp, cheesy crust.
The result is potatoes with a tender interior and a flavorful, golden-brown exterior textured by the melted Parmesan and herbs. The use of crushed garlic and oregano delivers classic Italian seasoning notes.
These potatoes pair well as a savory side dish to various mains. For best crisping, ensure potatoes have enough space on the baking tray to avoid steaming and toss them halfway through cooking. Vegan variations can use plant-based Parmesan alternatives. The potatoes can be prepared up to the last step and finished before serving if made ahead.
