Crispy and flavorful Parmesan Potatoes roasted to perfection with smoked paprika, garlic, and fresh parsley for a delicious side dish.
Ingredients
Scale
Potatoes
- 1 1/2 pounds fingerling potatoes (30 to 34 potatoes)
Seasonings and Toppings
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 2 ounces Parmesan cheese
- 5 to 6 sprigs fresh parsley
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Arrange a rack in the middle of the oven and heat the oven to 400°F.
- Prepare the potatoes: Cut the fingerling potatoes in half lengthwise. Place them in a roasting pan or rimmed baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with kosher salt, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper. Toss to coat evenly and arrange the potatoes cut-side down in a single layer.
- Roast the potatoes: Roast the potatoes until the bottoms start to turn golden-brown, about 30 minutes.
- Grate cheese and chop parsley: While the potatoes roast, finely grate the Parmesan cheese and finely chop the parsley leaves to get about 2 tablespoons.
- Flip and add cheese: Carefully flip each potato cut-side up using tongs or a thin metal spatula. Sprinkle the Parmesan cheese evenly over the potatoes (some cheese may fall onto the pan).
- Finish roasting: Roast the potatoes for an additional 10 minutes until the cheese is crisp and golden-brown and the potatoes are cooked through.
- Garnish and serve: Sprinkle the roasted potatoes with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
Notes
- Use fingerling potatoes or small new potatoes for best results.
- Make sure to roast the potatoes cut-side down initially to get a nice golden crust.
- You can substitute Parmesan with Pecorino Romano for a sharper flavor.
- For extra crispiness, avoid overcrowding the pan so the potatoes roast evenly.
- If fresh parsley is unavailable, you may use dried parsley but add it after cooking to preserve flavor.
