Can I use other types of potatoes?

Absolutely! Yukon Gold or even small Russet potatoes can substitute for reds. Just keep the cuts uniform for even roasting.

Is it necessary to peel the potatoes?

Not at all—in fact, the skins are what help these potatoes get extra crispy and flavorful. Plus, there’s more fiber and nutrients!

Can I prepare these ahead of time?

Definitely. You can toss the potatoes with oil, garlic, herbs, and Parmesan, then refrigerate them up to a day ahead. Bake them fresh when you’re ready to eat.

How do I get extra crispy roasted potatoes?

A couple of tricks: Arrange them cut side down in a single layer, don’t crowd the pan, and roast at high heat. For even more crunch, try preheating your baking sheet before spreading the potatoes out.

Instructions

Prepare Oven & Baking Sheet – Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Prepare a large baking sheet by spraying it with non-stick spray or lightly greasing with oil.
Prep Potatoes – Cut the red potatoes in half and place them in a large bowl.
Season Potatoes – Add olive oil, minced garlic, dried thyme, oregano, basil, and grated Parmesan cheese to the potatoes. Sprinkle salt and pepper to your preference. Toss everything together until the potatoes are evenly coated.
Arrange on Baking Sheet – Spread the seasoned potatoes on the baking sheet in a single layer with the peel side up to help the cut side crisp.
Bake Potatoes – Roast in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, flipping the potatoes halfway through the baking time so they cook evenly and become golden brown and crisp.
Add Butter & Parsley – While the potatoes are baking, melt the butter either on the stove or in the microwave. Once potatoes are finished, drizzle with melted butter and sprinkle with chopped parsley before serving.

Notes

For extra crispiness, use a convection setting if your oven has one.
Serve immediately for best texture.
You can substitute Yukon gold potatoes if red potatoes are not available.
Add more garlic or herbs to your preference for a stronger flavor profile.
