Equipment

Ingredients

  • 3 lbs baby red potatoes or baby yellow potatoes
  • 4 tbsp melted butter
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 cup parmesan cheese
  • 1 tsp salt
  • ½ tsp pepper
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1 tbsp fresh chopped parsley + more for serving
  • sour cream for serving, optional

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400. Combine parmesan cheese, salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and fresh chopped parsley in a bowl. 
  • Brush the bottom of a 9x13 inch casserole dish with 1 tbsp melted butter. Sprinkle ¾ of the herb cheese mixture on top of the butter to coat the bottom of the dish. Set the remaining ¼ cup aside.
  • Place the halved potatoes on top of the cheese mixture in a single layer, cut-side down. If you have more than will fit on the bottom of the pan, you can star a 2nd layer. Drizzle the remaining tbsp melted butter and 1 tbsp olive oil over the potatoes. Sprinkle the remaining parmesan mixture overtop.
  • Roast for 32-34 minutes or until the potatoes are fork tender. Break apart any parmesan pieces holding the potatoes together. Top with chives or more parsley and serve with a side of sour cream or ranch dressing for dipping! Enjoy.

Notes

Make sure to choose potatoes that are all similar sized to ensure even roasting.
Use pre-grated parmesan cheese for this recipe. Do not try to grate your own. The tiny sand-like parmesan cheese works best and creates the crispiest coating on the potatoes.
Store leftover potatoes in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. Reheat in the microwave for 1-2 minutes or in the air fryer for 2-3 minutes at 400 degrees.
Use a casserole dish or baking pan that is at least 9x13 inches in size to ensure the potatoes have enough room! I love this one. You want them in a single layer to ensure they get crispy. The bigger the casserole dish, the better.
