Italian Roasted Potatoes
Description
This recipe begins by halving baby potatoes and cooking them in an oven-safe skillet with olive oil over heat until their surfaces become crispy and browned. Garlic, Italian seasoning, salt, and paprika are then sautéed alongside the potatoes to build flavor. Once combined, the skillet is topped with shredded Parmesan cheese and chopped parsley before being transferred to the oven to roast.
Roasting at 400°F (207°C) for about 15 minutes allows the potatoes to cook through and the cheese to melt, creating a savory coating. Adding small cubes of unsalted butter after roasting enriches the dish and adds a smooth finish. This method yields potatoes with a slightly crisp skin and tender centers, infused with herb and spice notes.
These potatoes work well as a side dish with meats or poultry and can be prepared ahead of time by adjusting roasting duration based on potato size. Using smaller baby potatoes reduces roasting time, whereas larger ones may require around 20 minutes.
The recipe also suggests an alternate method of seasoning the potatoes first then roasting them directly in the oven for convenience.
Ingredients
- 1 lb (500g) baby potato
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning bottled
- 1/4 teaspoon salt or to taste
- 2 dashes paprika
- 1/3 cup Parmesan Cheese shredded
- 1 teaspoon parsley chopped, leaves
- 2 tablespoons butter cut into small cubes, unsalted
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (207°C). Clean and rinse the baby potatoes, then drain and cut them in half. Heat an oven-safe skillet (preferably cast iron) and add the olive oil. Add the potatoes and cook until the surfaces turn crispy.
- Turn the potatoes over and cook the skin side until nicely browned. Push the potatoes to one side of the skillet and sauté the garlic, followed by the Italian seasoning, salt, and paprika. Stir to combine well.
- Turn off the heat and sprinkle the cheese and parsley on top of the potatoes. Transfer the skillet to the oven and roast for 15 minutes. Add the butter cubes on top of the potatoes and serve immediately.
Notes
- If using larger baby potatoes, roast for about 20 minutes or until fully cooked through.
- You can skip the stovetop step by combining olive oil, garlic, Italian seasoning, salt, paprika, and potatoes before roasting everything together.
- Small baby potatoes roast faster and will develop a crispier surface more quickly.
