    Ingredient Notes

    Below is a brief overview of each ingredient needed to make these Crispy Crunchy Parmesan Potatoes! To see exact ingredient amounts with step by step directions, scroll to the bottom of this post or click the “jump to recipe” button at the top.

    • Potatoes– I love using mini Yukon Gold potatoes in this recipe because they are small, tender, and tend to cook quickly. The baby gold potatoes have great flavor too!
    • Butter– I prefer using unsalted butter because of the Parmesan cheese added that can be rather salty. If you prefer using salted butter, that works great too.
    • Parmesan Cheese– grated Parmesan cheese is best whether that be freshly grated cheese or the powdered Parmesan cheese that comes in that classic green can! This cheese gives the potatoes a rich flavor.
    • Black Pepper– this is just to add more flavor. Feel free to use garlic powder, Oregano, fresh minced garlic, onion powder, or any other seasoning desired.

    all the ingredients needed to make Parmesan Crusted Potatoes.

    How to make Crusted Parmesan Potatoes

    Pour butter onto the bottom of a 9 x 13 baking dish. Sprinkle Parmesan generously over the melted butter. Sprinkle pepper over Parmesan. Place baby gold potatoes, cut side down, into the butter Parmesan mixture. Place baking pan in a preheated oven, 400 degrees, and bake for about 45 minutes. Once golden brown, remove from oven and allow to sit out for 10 minutes prior to removing from pan. PRO TIP: this helps things get more crispy! Garnish with fresh Parsley if desired.

    step by step on how to make Parmesan Crusted Potatoes.

    Variations and Substitutions

    Want to change these up to make them your own? Here are some great options to try:

    • Seasonings– feel free to add in any and every seasoning or herb desired. From minced garlic to give it more of a Crispy Garlic Potato, that will be delicious! You can also add Italian seasoning, Thyme, Cayenne Pepper, red pepper flakes, rosemary, or lemon pepper seasoning.
    • Bacon– cooked, crumbled bacon can be added to the butter mixture to enhance the flavor. After all, who doesn’t LOVE bacon??
    • Onions– add some finely chopped onions to the butter mixture.
    • Cheese– once cooked and ready to serve, you can sprinkle additional Parmesan cheese or Mozzarella cheese over the tik tok roasted potatoes.
    • Olive Oil– although this is an added step, you can toss the potatoes in a small amount of olive oil with the seasonings before adding into the butter mixture. This coats the Parmesan crusted potatoes a bit more and ensures each bite is loaded with flavor.
    • Sauce– serve with Ranch dressing or my Southern Comeback Sauce as a dipping option.

    Storing Crispy Parmesan Crusted Potatoes

    These Parmesan-roasted potatoes are best enjoyed fresh from the oven as they are crispy, hot, and tender. If you have leftovers, allow to cool completely before moving to an airtight container and placing in the refrigerator up to 4 days. You can reheat using the microwave, air fryer, or oven at a low temperature. I don’t recommend freezing as the texture changes and won’t be as flavorful.

      Loved the recipe. However, I had some of those small potatoes in the bag, Some gold ones and some red ones that I needed to get rid of and I found a container of Parmesan cheese in my upstairs fridge and went downstairs to my garage refridgerator and found a container of Garlic Butter that is really scrumptious on bread and used that. I’m really glad that I came across this recipe because I was going to eventually roast those little potatoes but I wouldn’t have done like this. This is a KEEPER for cooking potatoes. I even sprinkled some more cheese on top of the potatoes that I needed to use up and they were delicious. I didn’t need to use any salt because the garlic butter definitely was salty enough. So a GREAT BIG THANK YOU!!!

          From the picture it appears they might have been flipped over so both sides were browned? Correct?

          Nope, the bottoms of the potatoes are where the browned bottoms come from, the tops are tender and flavorful though. No need to flip over. I took a few different pictures each time I made them to show different cuts you can do and how it looks! Enjoy!

      This is similar to what mom made for us on the farm growing up. She’d boil the potatoes, drain them and quarter the potatoes and brown them to a crispy golden brown deliciousness. She us d bacon grease and butter. They were delightful.

      I feel like when I made this a few years ago there was a dip recipe that went along with it? Am I mistaken?

        Most people serve these with Ranch, however, I tend to make Southern Comeback Sauce. Was that what you were thinking of? https://thecookinchicks.com/southern-comeback-sauce/
