What makes these oven roasted potatoes so special? It's the magical combination of perfectly diced Yukon gold potatoes, generously coated in olive oil, paprika, granulated garlic, salt, and pepper.

But the real secret weapon is the freshly grated Parmesan cheese, added towards the end of the roasting process, creating an irresistible, nutty, and savory crunch.
Tips for the Best Parmesan Potatoes
- Choose the Right Potato: Yukon gold potatoes are ideal for this recipe. Their waxy-starchy balance gives you a creamy interior and crispy exterior. If you can't find them, red potatoes or even russets (cut slightly smaller) can work.
- Don't Crowd the Pan: Ensure your potatoes are spread in a single layer on the baking sheet. Overcrowding steams the potatoes instead of roasting them, preventing that coveted crispiness.
- Freshly Grated Parmesan is Key: Skip the pre-shredded stuff! Freshly grated Parmesan melts beautifully and provides a superior flavor and texture.
- Season Generously: Don't be shy with the spices. The paprika adds a lovely color and subtle sweetness, while the garlic and salt are essential for flavor.
These versatile Parmesan roasted potatoes are an effortless yet elegant addition to weeknight dinners or special gatherings. They pair wonderfully with roasted chicken, steak, fish, or even a simple omelet. Get ready for a truly amazing potato experience! Enjoy the crispiness, savor the flavor, and delight in the simplicity of this incredible side dish.
