We’re both obsessed with our Crispy Parmesan Potatoes. They’re too easy to make and absolutely delicious! We love the crispy outer texture (hello cheese blanket!) and creamy interior. We seriously don’t make roasted potatoes any other way now and think you’ll feel the same way once you try these out!
How to Make Crispy Parmesan Potatoes
Ingredients
Process
- Preheat oven to 400˚F. In a small bowl stir together cheese, garlic powder, paprika, and black pepper.
- Brush 1 tablespoon melted butter into the bottom of a glass 10”x14” baking dish.
- Sprinkle cheese mixture evenly over brushed butter, in the baking dish.
- Press cut-side of potatoes into the cheese mixture.
- Carefully brush potatoes tops with remaining butter and season with salt if you want.
- Roast potatoes for 28-32 minutes or until tops have wrinkled and potatoes are just fork tender.
- Remove from oven and break apart any Parmesan crisp pieces connecting the potatoes together.
- Transfer crispy Parmesan potatoes to a platter and top with chives. Serve with sour cream for dipping if you want!

Tips and Tricks for the Best Parmesan Potatoes
- Use pre-grated Parmesan cheese that you find in the refrigerated section of the grocery store. Do not freshly grate the Parmesan for this recipe. The pre-grated Parmesan melts and sticks to the potatoes the best and creates the best cheese blanket, which is just what you want!
- Press the potatoes into the Parmesan mixture, don’t move them around. This will ensure a full and even coating of the Parmesan is crusted onto the potatoes.
- It’s important to use potatoes similar in size for this dish to ensure even roasting.
Variations
- Add some herbs and/or other spices to the Parmesan mixture. we like adding cumin for a smoky kick or rosemary and thyme for an earthy flavor!
- Add a teaspoon of honey to the remaining butter mixture for a sweet touch.
- Serve the potatoes with ketchup, ranch, bbq sauce, or honey mustard instead of sour cream for dipping.
Reheating Instructions
The potatoes really taste the best when they’re eaten fresh from the oven, but if you have leftovers you can reheat them in the oven. To reheat the potatoes:
- Preheat oven to 350˚F. Place Parmesan potatoes in a baking dish, cut-side down and cover baking dish tightly with foil. Roast for 10 minutes until heated through. Uncover and flip potatoes so they’re cut-side up. Lightly sprinkle with a little more Parmesan, salt and pepper. Continue to roast for an additional 5 minutes. Remove from heat and enjoy!

Could these be done on an aluminum sheet pan instead?
Yes, although you might run into a little bit of the Parmesan sticking to the pan…but you should mostly be fine!
Thanks! Could I add a silpat sheet to help with this? Do you think it will still crisp up?
Delicious! I’ll add extra cheese next time and I did add a slight sprinkle of kosher salt. I didn’t read it correctly and poured butter over the potatoes and them layered them on the cheese but it still came out good. Yummy!
holy molyyyy, these look so good!
do you think you could do the same thing with brussels sprouts?! 🫢
