Ingredients
- Parmesan cheese - The key ingredient that gives the potatoes a tasty cheesy flavor and crispy texture. I recommend using freshly grated Parmesan instead of store-bought.
- Garlic powder - A staple seasoning in many recipes, garlic powder gives these potatoes a delightful taste without overpowering the other flavors.
- Smoked paprika - This spice adds a smoky depth of flavor and a beautiful reddish hue to the potatoes. Regular or sweet paprika will work too.
- Potatoes - Use your favorite variety of potato. We recommend using Yukon Gold or Russet potatoes for their creamy texture and ability to hold up well when roasted.
- Olive oil - Use a good quality olive oil for the best results.

Baby potatoes, Yukon Gold potatoes, and small russet potatoes are all excellent choices for roasting.
These varieties have the perfect balance of starch and moisture, resulting in a crispy exterior and fluffy interior. Experiment with different types to find your personal favorite.
Tips for Extra Crispy Potatoes

Parmesan Crusted Potatoes: Frequently Asked Questions
Boiling the potatoes first will help them cook faster in the oven. However, it may affect the crispy texture of the Parmesan crust. If you prefer a softer texture, boiling the potatoes beforehand is a good option.
If your roasted potatoes aren't softening, it could be because they're undercooked, or you are using wrong type of potatoes. Use starchy potatoes like russet or Yukon gold for a softer texture, and make sure the oven is hot enough for even cooking.
