Crispy Crunchy Parmesan Potatoes are an irresistible side dish with a golden, cheesy crust and a fluffy interior. Perfect for weeknight dinners or gatherings, they’re easy to make and packed with savory flavor.

Ingredients

  • 2 pounds potatoes (Yukon gold or baby potatoes recommended)
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil or melted butter
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Wash and cut the potatoes into halves or wedges, depending on the size.
  3. In a small bowl, mix Parmesan, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
  4. Drizzle the potatoes with olive oil or melted butter, then coat them generously with the Parmesan mixture.
  5. Place the potatoes cut side down on the baking sheet for maximum crispiness.
  6. Bake for about 35–40 minutes until golden brown and crispy.
  7. Sprinkle with fresh parsley before serving, if desired.

Notes

  • For extra crispiness, don’t overcrowd the baking sheet.
  • Use Pecorino Romano instead of Parmesan for a sharper flavor.
  • Add red pepper flakes for a spicy kick.
  • Air fryer method: Cook at 400°F for 20–25 minutes, shaking halfway.
  • Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days and reheat in oven or air fryer.
