Ingredients

This roasted potatoes recipe is made with only a handful of simple ingredients! You probably already have most of them on hand too.

Ingredient Notes

Potatoes: Potatoes are of course the key ingredient in these garlic parmesan potatoes! I love to use the small, colorful, baby ones. You’ll need 2 lbs.
Olive Oil: Add 3 tbsp of olive oil to roast the potatoes beautifully. Use high quality extra virgin olive oil for the best results!
Parmesan Cheese: There is truly nothing better than cheesy potatoes – I mean have you tried my Cheesy Au Gratin Potatoes?? The two ingredients just go together fabulously. Add 1/2 cup of freshly shredded parmesan cheese.
Fresh Garlic: This perfect side dish is made with tons of fresh garlic! 5 cloves to be exact.
Seasonings: This recipe is loaded with a bunch of flavorful seasonings. You’ll need 1 tsp garlic powder, 1 tsp onion powder, 1/2 tsp paprika, and 1/2 tsp Italian seasoning. And salt and pepper too!

Substitutions & Additions

This side dish recipe is actually quite customizable! You can switch up the potato, seasonings, and herbs to meet your personal preferences, tastes, and needs.

Potatoes: I used baby potatoes in this recipe, but essentially on type of potato would work. You could use russet potatoes, Yukon gold potatoes, or even go crazy with sweet potatoes.

Olive Oil: It would be delicious to swap out some of the olive oil used here for melted butter. It would add such incredible, rich flavor! You could also replace with a different oil like avocado.

Seasonings: You can season these potatoes with literally any spice or seasoning under the sun! Whatever is your favorite should work great.

Fresh Herbs: Fresh herbs are both a beautiful garnish and tasty addition to this side dish. They also freshen and liven the recipe up a bit! I went with fresh parsley – but I think fresh dill, rosemary, and thyme are all great options.
