Ingredients

Olive oil

Garlic, finely grated

Kosher salt

Black pepper

Cayenne (optional, for heat)

Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Yellow baby/new potatoes, halved

Parmesan cheese, finely grated into a pebbly texture

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, combine olive oil, garlic, salt, pepper, cayenne (if using), and parsley.
  3. Halve the potatoes and toss them in the oil mixture as you cut to prevent browning.
  4. Add Parmesan to the bowl and toss gently until potatoes are coated.
  5. Arrange potatoes cut side down on the baking sheet, pressing any loose Parmesan onto the flat sides.
  6. Roast 25–35 minutes, rotating the pan halfway, until potatoes are tender and the Parmesan is golden brown.
  7. Let potatoes rest 5 minutes to allow the cheese to set, then flip with a thin spatula.
  8. Transfer to a platter, sprinkle with more parsley if desired, and serve immediately.

Notes

  • Add herbs like rosemary, thyme, or Italian seasoning for extra flavor.
  • Swap Parmesan with pecorino Romano for a sharper taste.
  • Fingerling or red potatoes also work well for variety.
  • For brunch, serve alongside fried eggs and bacon.
  • Reheat leftovers in the oven or air fryer for best crispiness.
