📋 Ingredients Quantity

Servings: 4–6
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 35–40 minutes
Total Time: ~50 minutes

  • 2 lbs (900g) baby or Yukon gold potatoes, halved or quartered
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried Italian herbs (or oregano/thyme)
  • 1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 tablespoons heavy cream or sour cream (optional for extra creaminess)
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

🌿 Optional Additions

  • Chopped cooked bacon or pancetta for a smoky twist
  • Grated mozzarella on top during the last 5 minutes of roasting
  • Lemon zest or a splash of lemon juice for brightness
  • Red pepper flakes for a spicy kick
  • Substitute with sweet potatoes for a sweet-savory combo

Tips for Success

  • Cut all potatoes to uniform size to ensure even cooking.
  • Don’t overcrowd the pan — use a large baking sheet so the potatoes crisp instead of steam.
  • Freshly grated Parmesan melts and browns better than pre-shredded.
  • Roast cut-side down to get the crispiest texture.
  • Add garlic halfway through roasting if you’re sensitive to burnt garlic flavor.

🍳 Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
  2. In a large bowl, toss the potatoes with olive oil, garlic, salt, pepper, herbs, and half of the Parmesan until well coated.
  3. Spread the potatoes in a single layer on the baking sheet, cut-side down.
  4. Roast for 30–35 minutes, flipping halfway if needed, until golden and crispy.
  5. Remove from oven, drizzle with heavy cream or sour cream (if using), and sprinkle remaining Parmesan on top. Return to oven for 5 more minutes.
  6. Garnish with chopped parsley, and serve hot!
