Here’s a recipe for Creamy Garlic Parmesan Roasted Potatoes — crispy on the outside, tender inside, and loaded with cheesy, garlicky flavor.
🥔 Creamy Garlic Parmesan Roasted Potatoes
🛒 Ingredients (Serves 4)
- 2 lbs (about 900 g) baby or Yukon gold potatoes, halved or quartered
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 3–4 cloves garlic, minced
- ½ teaspoon salt (adjust to taste)
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- ½ teaspoon paprika (optional, for color)
- ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
- Optional: 2 tablespoons cream or cream cheese for extra creaminess
👩🍳 Instructions
1️⃣ Preheat & Prep
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Toss the potatoes with olive oil, minced garlic, salt, pepper, and paprika until evenly coated.
2️⃣ Roast
- Spread potatoes in a single layer on a baking sheet.
- Roast for 25–30 minutes, tossing halfway through, until golden and crisp.
3️⃣ Add Cheese & Cream
- Remove from oven, sprinkle Parmesan evenly over potatoes.
- If using cream or cream cheese, drizzle or dollop over potatoes and gently toss to coat while warm.
4️⃣ Serve
- Garnish with chopped parsley.
- Serve hot as a side dish with chicken, steak, or roasted vegetables.
💡 Tips for Perfect Potatoes
- Crispier edges: Soak cut potatoes in cold water for 15–20 minutes before roasting, then pat dry.
- Even roasting: Don’t overcrowd the pan — potatoes should have space to crisp.
- Extra cheesy flavor: Add a little more Parmesan during the last 5 minutes of roasting.
If you want, I can also give you a one-pan version with chicken and vegetables so dinner cooks all together and these creamy potatoes soak up all the flavors.
