Parmesan Roasted Potatoes - the easiest and BEST roasted potatoes with Parmesan cheese, butter and herbs. SO good you'll want to make it every day!!!
Ever since I started making the garlic herb roasted potatoes I learned from Gratinee, my little boy has been asking for the dish almost every day.
He used to ask for butter sauteed potato and mushroom, but not anymore. He loves those baby or new potatoes that are sliced horizontally, as he could peel each slice off, play with them before eating.
And I am happy to make them whenever he asked for it, experimenting with different variations every time.

One of the variations I tried was cutting down on the thyme since little G doesn’t quite like the taste and aroma of thyme. All kids love cheese so I topped the potatoes with Parmesan cheese.
The end result is this AMAZING roasted potatoes that takes practically 10 minutes active prep time in the kitchen. The roasting takes about 1 hour to get to the desired tenderness, but in that one hour, you can just sit in front of TV or do your chores when the oven does it magic.
Best of all, there is only one roasting pan to clean!
For the potatoes, new potatoes or baby potatoes are best for this Parmesan roasted potatoes. These smaller potatoes have thinner skin and when you roast them in the oven, the skin becomes crisp and really great to the bite.
There are usually two kinds of baby potatoes in the market—golden skin and red skin. I prefer the former, they seem to taste better in my opinion, plus after roasting, they turn golden brown in color!!
Try this parmesan roasted potatoes recipe, it’s a great side to serve for the entire family. It’s so good that even the pickiest eater would love them!!

I tasted these potato’s over the weekend, and they were amazing. Will be making them again for my guest at Easter dinner.
Delicious!
These potatoes look amazing, I’m making them for tonight’s supper. YUM! They’ll go perfectly with our sautéed pork chops, skillet corn, and green beans. My stomach is already growling. Thanks for sharing, that roasted garlic sounds sinfully delicious too – but Husband HATES too much garlic. I have to add it sparingly to everything, but I still use it all the time!!!!
I honestly can’t name a single person who wouldn’t love these taters. They look like something we’d snack on all day long.
These potatoes are great. A tip when cutting the potatoes, use chopsticks or skewers an place on either side of potatoes and you won’t cut all the way through.
