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.

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

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.

I loved the flavor of these, However, they took much longer to cook and crisp than indicated on these directions. Can I just use diced potatoes?
You can!
Looks delicious…… but I don’t eat cheese. What can I substitute it with? Can I used olive oil instead of butter?
Tq
Hi Fisah. There is some olive oil in the recipe, so you can just use that instead of adding butter. You can also omit the cheese.
I would like to try this potato recipe and wondered if it would be ok to do the stove part and then wait a bit to put them in the oven. I want to make it for company and would like to do as much in advance and I possibly can. Thanks for any information you can provide!
Made these to go with salmon patties. Good meal for Lent. My husband went gaga over the potatoes. I will make again. Thanks for the recipe
I still have some baby potatoes from my fall harvest in the basement that seems the perfect way to cook them and some beyond meat sausages and maybe a green salad
