The Kitchen Wife: Roasted Garlic Parmesan Potato Recipe (2024)

I don't know about you, but the one thing I struggle with most when it comes to meal planning is sides. Growing up we always had some form of meat and two sides at every meal. That's a lot of pressure. lol One of my favorites were these rosemary, pan roasted, red potatoes my dad made. True story, I LOVED when there were one or two left in the pan after supper to nibble on while I cleaned the kitchen as well as any crispy bits! I was thinking of that recipe the other day while meal planning and thought I would try my own take on it and that is where these Roasted Garlic Parmesan Potatoes were born.

So here's a little Kitchen Wife Wisdom for you:

While the oven is preheating, go ahead and place a foil lined baking sheet in there as well.
This will allow the pan to get nice and hot, making sure the outside of your potatoes get all crispy and delicious.

Trust me, it matters.

After that you'll need to cut the potatoes into bite-sized pieces.

These were petite potatoes so I only needed to cut them in half, but if you're working with a larger potato, don't be afraid to cut it into smaller pieces.

Place the potatoes into a mixing bowl and add the parmesan, garlic, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.

Return the pan the oven and cook for 20 minutes, stirring halfway through.

FAQs

Should you boil potatoes before roasting? ›

Do I have to boil potatoes before roasting? Not necessary but this can help get the perfect consistency and crispiness. Make sure you boil them but leave them a bit al dente and they will crisp up perfectly in the oven.

How to parboil a potato? ›

directions
  1. Put the potatoes in a large pan.
  2. Cover with cold water.
  3. Bring water to a boil over high heat.
  4. As soon as the water starts to boil, turn the heat off but keep the pan on the burner.
  5. Let the pan of potatoes stand on the burner for about 5 minutes,depending on the size of the potatoes.

Why do you soak potatoes in water before roasting? ›

Soaking potatoes in water helps remove excess starch. Excess starch can inhibit the potatoes from cooking evenly as well as creating a gummy or sticky texture on the outside of your potatoes. Cold water is used because hot water would react with the starch activating it, making it harder to separate from the potatoes.

Why don't my roast potatoes go crispy? ›

Preheat the fat. While the potatoes parboil, add the oil or butter to the roasting pan, transfer it to the warm oven, and heat it for about 5 minutes before adding the potatoes. This allows the outside of the potatoes to crisp up nicely and not just absorb the cold fat when you put them in the oven.
