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
- Unsalted Butter
- 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!

- You may also roast the potatoes right away in the oven.

Can these potatoes be frozen once they are cooked? I want to make them for homage TV dinners..
Yes you can freeze and reheat.
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!
Hi Mr. Loto, thanks for your comment. I have a recipe with oil and rosemary. https://www.666630.xyz/rosemary-roasted-potatoes/. Yes, this Italian Roasted Potatoes is very good, you will love it.
can I cook potatoes in a bowl on top of chicken and does it matter if you do QR with chicken?
Hi Brenda, I am not sure.
Hi Brenda, I am sorry but I am not sure as I didn’t try this with an Instant Pot.
Oh good gracious, my favourite potatoes. Will try the recipes tomorrow. Thank you.
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.
Great idea.
These were perfect, I followed the directions exactly, our new go to potato!
Made tonight to accompany escalope milanese and flavours were a great success. Actually didnt bake but suateed (par boiled) potaoes coated in flour with seasonings nd parmesan. Once crisping added butter to the skillet to pick up all the flavours and gave 5 mins more for golden finish. Yum.
