This Italian roasted potatoes recipe is fast becoming my favorite side dish in my family.
The reason is very simple; these potatoes are super easy to make but they are absolutely out-of-the-world delicious. Just look at the pictures, don’t you agree?
I love baby potatoes and they are perfect for these Italian roasted potatoes. Baby potatoes are quick to cook and take only 20 minutes from prep to dinner. Just pick up the smallest baby potatoes you can find at your local store the next time you go shopping.
I started off the potatoes on the stove top, cooking them with garlic and Italian seasonings. Top with generous amount of Parmesan cheese and transfer the skillet into the oven and roast for 15 minutes. To make things even better, top the potatoes with small butter cubes. Let them melt and you will have the best roasted potatoes you have ever made at home!

Easy and delicious – I followed the recipe exactly – crispy on the outside! :)
Rasa Malaysia
Hi Thomas thanks. That’s my tagline – easy delicious. Thanks for trying my Italian roasted potatoes recipe. :)

So i’ve cooked them on the stove-top in my cast iron for about 10mins. Then, I put them in the 400 degree oven. I’ve left them for 20 mins. Just pulled them out & they aren’t done nor are they crispy like the picture. What am I doing wrong??? :(
Rasa Malaysia
When you cook the potatoes on the stove top, make sure the surface turns crispy.

Shara, raw potatoes on the stove-top in a frying pan never works …. they need to be parboiled in water for at least 5 minutes, drained and then transferred to the stove-top in a heavy duty frying pan. I’m from England and we make the best roasted potatoes ever … hope this helps (don’t boil them for long though)
Josephine B
June Stirrett, Thank you acknowledging that the potatoes have to be par-boiled prior to baking. I always do this myself, but it’s not know by quite a lot of newer cooks. These turned out lovely.
Lisa
Agreed! I actually microwave mine so they are not as wet and I can use them quicker.
Anita
Thanks for the heads up on parboiling the potatoes. The recipe was a hit and I have made them twice in one week. Happy husband!!

IS THE ITALIAN SEASONING THE BOTTLED SALAD DRESSING?
OR THE SPICE?
Rasa Malaysia
The dry spice.
Sharon
When cooking on stovetop in cast iron pan, do you add oil or butter to prevent them from sticking?
Rasa Malaysia
I add oil + butter. :)

You’re not very clear with you directions for this recipe. Are the potatoes peeled? how much butter and oil do you use to cook on stove and how much cheese do you use and when do you put the cheese on so that it doesn’t burn. Very frustrated with this recipe. Other chefs do an itemized list of how to prepare.

I don’t understand some of the questions you’re being asked. One of them sounds like a teacher scolding a student! RUDE. I had no problem at all following your directions. They were pretty straight forward. The dish turned out wonderfully. My husband is Italian and he said “Don’t lose that recipe!”
Rasa Malaysia
Hi Angie, thanks for your support. I am happy that you guys love this Italian Roasted Potatoes recipe.
LaRue E.
I agree with Angie, quit whining and follow directions..geez.. delicious
Lyn
I disagree with both above answers, choice should be up to the individual, to me they looked peeled and that’s how I like them , different strokes for different folks, guess I am rude because I was going to ask the same question
Tammy
If you looked at even 1 photo it’s obvious they aren’t peeled not to mention who peels tiny ass potatoes?
Prep time would increase 10 fold!
Tracy
I am going to try this tonite for supper. With roast beef.

Great, let me know how you like this Italian roasted potatoes. :)

Marjorie
I really liked the idea of this recipe but the garlic and parsley were totally burned after being in the oven for 15 minute. Maybe adding them after the potatoes are almost done would work better.
Rasa Malaysia
Thanks for your feedback. Do not brown the garlic in the skillet. In any case, you may try to have the skillet at the bottom. You can add them when the potatoes are almost done, or lower the heat to 375F.
Patty
What does this go well with?
Laura
Is the Italian seasoning from the packet that you would use to make dressing? Or just seasoning? I’m just confused by the word “bottled”
Rasa Malaysia
It’s Italian seasoning in a spice bottle. You get it from the spice section.
Juanice
Maybe if you said ‘dry Italian seasoning’ in the spice section. Maybe they would get it. I love this recipe, can’t wait to try it. Thanks…
Rasa Malaysia
Yes. It’s bottled and labeled as Italian seasoning. You can get it at the Spice aisle in any stores, for example: McCormick.
Sirajum Munira
Those baby potatoes are adorable and the color it took after cooking is mouthwatering. The recipe is simple and easy to make.The combination of butter with herbs i liked most. thank you so much, i will try it tomorrow for dinner.
Stefanie
I don’t have a cast iron skillet.. can i cook in a pan on stove then transfer to a casserole dish for oven?
Rasa Malaysia
Yes you can.
Regina Worth
May I ask what makes these Italian?
Rasa Malaysia
I used Italian seasonings that’s why I just called it Italian.
Dolly Tejani
Hi I wish to make this dish but I do not have an oven. Can you please tell me how do I make it in a fry pan on a gas stove or a microwave. Thanks

Just wasted over 10 pages of colored printing trying to print your recipe- how frustrating.
Maria Elena Di Carmine
Use the shortcut for printing: Press the Control button + the letter p together (Ctrl + p) and the print dialog screen pops up. However, before you click print, look to the image on the right: The bottom of the first page you are set to print (i.e. 1/10 or, 1 out of 10 pages) shows you how many pages there are. Scroll through to see what page(s) you wish the printing to stop. You select only the pages you wish to print by putting those pages (i.e. 1-3) in the window, (you can skip pages too and indicate as such (1-3, 5, 8) etc. then click at the bottom of the first print page and the second print page will come up. I just hit print at the second print screen, since the selection was made already, but some printers may ask again for the selection, so type it in again (1-3) but only if necessary. This should prevent you from printing unnecessary pages and end your frustration as well. Try this out on a document without a lot of pictures or writing which contain several pages and you won’t waste a lot of ink. Good Luck! I hope this helps.

Instead of printing from the page and getting a kazillion pages, copy and paste the text into a word document. That way you get only 1 page.
Hayley
Hi Rasa, I will be making these potatoes for a valentines meal tonight, do you think it would make much difference to not cook them in the stove first and just put them directly in the over? Just thinking of the washing up! Thanks.
Rasa Malaysia
Yeah, you can bake directly. Cooking on the stove crisp up the skin which makes them better though.
Bev
These sound amazing and I can’t wait to try them. I love my cast iron pans. What I don’t understand is how so many can’t read the directions.. I find them to be very clear and concise. Thank you for this wonderful recipe.
Rasa Malaysia
Thanks Bev. :)
Kara
These are absolutely fantastic! I’ve made them several times….always to rave reviews! Thank you for the delicious recipe!
Arthur Simon
This dish is worthwhile just for the technique. It is quite tasty and so easy to make you should just take the credit and let the method be your little secret. That said, sometimes you don’t want the Italian flavor but something else. OK, #1 rethink the cheese. Maybe leave it out. Lose the Italian seasoning. My goto approach is to toss the potatoes in a little “pure” olive oil, and add maybe 1/2 tsp or a little more of (1) Old Bay Seasoning, or (2) Chef Emeril’s Seafood essence, or (3) some celery powder, and/or some microplaned lemon zest, or Montreal seasoning, or, or, or, …. you get the idea. It is the canvas, and you are the artist.
And if you don’t have a food dryer, get one. when the produce in the fridge is on the verge of going the way of all flesh, dice, dry and grind to a powder when needed. FE: Celery, onion and bell pepper, and you have the Cajun trinity. Add some Jerk Seasoning, and enjoy the islands.
Rasa Malaysia
Thanks for your suggestion I will try out!
Beverly
Just curious…I like to use fresh herbs. Could you substitute the dried Italian seasoning with fresh herbs? What specific herbs would you recommend and what quantity? I’m thinking, oregano, basil, rosemary and possibly thyme. If you use the usual conversion of dried to fresh, would you use a tablespoonof each fresh herb? Just my thoughts, but I would love your recommendations.
Thanks
Rasa Malaysia
Yes, parsley, oregano, basil, thyme, garlic, crushed red pepper flakes, etc.

I made the Italian potatoes, and they turned out great, huge hit for Easter dinner. However, I do want to say, that I fried the potatoes first, and then transferred the potatoes to the oven. From start to finish it took over 40 minutes (10 frying, and 20 baking). I put the cheese, butter, and parsley in for the last 10 minutes of baking, but keep checking so you do not burn the cheese. Enjoy!
Rasa Malaysia
Awesome Karen. I am so glad you liked the Italian roasted potatoes.
Melita frank
The potatoes were simply amazing. There were swiped in no time…

These potatoes look so delicious! I’m going to add some of these into every salad I make :D Thank you for sharing this great recipe!
Wendy
These are gorgeous!! I am in the UK and it was a bank holiday yesterday so I decided to do a Bbq for lunch and these went down a treat! I did mine on the cooker top then transferred to a casserole dish and popped in the oven to crisp up, the only difference was I used motzarella cheese instead of parmasan but it was delicious! Thank you

Awesome Wendy. I am so glad that you tried my Italian roasted potatoes recipe.

Hi Liz, so glad that you liked the Italian roasted potatoes recipe.
Sherry
These were perfect, I followed the directions exactly, our new go to potato!
Lisa
Made these tonight and they were great! I cook my potatoes in the microwave first. They did not really need to go in the oven but I liked hoe they crisped up more. I put my Parmesan on when I took them out of the oven as I only had the processed stuff and was worried about it burning.
Rasa Malaysia
Great idea.
Mary Ong
Oh good gracious, my favourite potatoes. Will try the recipes tomorrow. Thank you.
Brenda
can I cook potatoes in a bowl on top of chicken and does it matter if you do QR with chicken?
Rasa Malaysia
Hi Brenda, I am not sure.
Rasa Malaysia
Hi Brenda, I am sorry but I am not sure as I didn’t try this with an Instant Pot.
Mr.Loto
I am Italian and I can assure you that we do not put garlic everywhere as it is believed! We cook the potatoes in a simple way, only with oil and rosemary … but I really like this recipe and I’ll try it!
Rasa Malaysia
Hi Mr. Loto, thanks for your comment. I have a recipe with oil and rosemary. https://rasamalaysia.com/rosemary-roasted-potatoes/. Yes, this Italian Roasted Potatoes is very good, you will love it.

Can these potatoes be frozen once they are cooked? I want to make them for homage TV dinners..
