When it comes to oven roasted potatoes, these Crispy Parmesan Roasted Potatoes are one of our favorites. Each bite of potato is so crispy and so delicious.

This recipe is very similar to my recipe for Easy Oven Roasted Fingerling Potatoes except with this recipe you will be using finely grated parmesan cheese.

The key to the best crispy potatoes is to use FRESH parmesan cheese that you have finely grated with a microplane grater. The fresh, finely grated cheese really makes a difference and helps the potatoes crisp up perfectly.

Do I need to peel the potatoes for oven roasted potatoes?

There are all different kinds of roasted potato recipes, but the best, in my opinion, are the recipes that leave the skin of the potato on. The skins crisp up so beautifully and really make the end result so delicious. Leave the skin on is our strong opinion!

What kind of potatoes should I use?

For this recipe, you will either want to use baby red potatoes or baby golden potatoes. The important step is to make sure the potatoes are cut evenly into bite-sized pieces so that they roast and crisp up evenly.

You really can use any kind of potato that you’d like but you’ll have the best result with the baby red potatoes or the baby golden potatoes that you will find at almost any grocery store.

Sometimes I find it more cost effective to buy red potatoes that are a bit bigger and aren’t necessarily considered “baby red” potatoes. Those will work fine, but again, just make sure the potatoes are cut evenly into bite-sized pieces.

How do I get crispy potatoes?

To get crispy oven roasted potatoes, you will want to start by making sure that your oven is pre-heated to 425F. That nice hot preheated oven is the first step to crispy potatoes.

Then you’ll want to make sure that your potatoes are dry. Use a clean kitchen towel or paper towels to blot the potatoes dry.

Another important step is to make sure you don’t skimp on the olive oil. You need enough oil to coat the potatoes well so that they crisp up nicely.

Lastly, the finely grated parmesan cheese also makes a difference. As I mentioned earlier, make sure you finely grate the cheese.

If the potatoes are done roasting and you’d like them even crispier, feel free to broil them for just a few minutes, making sure to keep an eye on them so that they do not burn.
