Roasted Potatoes
Roasted Potato is one of my favorite side dish and this Italian roasted potatoes recipe is fast becoming my favorite. This is also a quick and easy recipe to roast and bake potatoes in the oven.
These potatoes are absolutely out-of-the-world delicious. Made with Parmesan cheese, garlic, olive oil and herb. Just look at the pictures, don’t you just want to pick up the potatoes and eat?
Baby Potatoes Vs Regular Potatoes
I love baby potatoes and they are perfect for this Italian roasted potatoes recipe. 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.
You can also use regular-sized potatoes but be sure to cut them up into smaller chunks about the size of baby potatoes so they get cooked evenly in the oven.
Ingredients
- Baby Potatoes
- Parsley
- Salt
- Paprika

- Garlic

- Olive Oil

How To Make Roasted Potatoes In The Oven
Step 1: Preheat the oven to 400°F (207°C). Clean and rinse the baby potatoes, drain and cut into halves. Heat up an oven-safe skillet (cast-iron preferred) and add the olive oil. Add the potatoes and cook until the surface turns crispy.
Step 2: Turn over the cook the skin side until nicely browned. Push the potatoes to one side and saute the garlic, follow by the Italian seasoning, salt and paprika, stir to combine well.
Step 3: Turn off the heat and sprinkle the cheese and parsley on top of the potatoes. Transfer the skillet into the oven, roast for 15 minutes. Add the butter cubes on top of the potatoes, serve immediately.
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!

- I used extremely small baby potatoes. If you have bigger potatoes, roast for 20 minutes or until cooked.
- You may also roast the potatoes right away in the oven.
- Just combine the olive oil, garlic, potatoes, Italian seasoning, salt and paprika with the potatoes and follow the remaining steps. Roast for 20 minutes.

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.
Thanks Bev. :)
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.
Yeah, you can bake directly. Cooking on the stove crisp up the skin which makes them better though.
Just wasted over 10 pages of colored printing trying to print your recipe- how frustrating.
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.
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
May I ask what makes these Italian?
I used Italian seasonings that’s why I just called it Italian.
I don’t have a cast iron skillet.. can i cook in a pan on stove then transfer to a casserole dish for oven?
Yes you can.
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.
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”
It’s Italian seasoning in a spice bottle. You get it from the spice section.
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…
Yes. It’s bottled and labeled as Italian seasoning. You can get it at the Spice aisle in any stores, for example: McCormick.
What does this go well with?
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.
