Parmesan Roasted Baby Potatoes recipe

Inspired by the viral TikTok trend, these Parmesan Roasted Baby Potatoes make for an easy and deeply satisfying side dish. Here, we’ve invented a much lighter version with no butter that still packs in plenty of flavor.

This baked baby potatoes with cheese recipe is incredibly easy. You don’t even need to score the potatoes into a fancy diamond shape; just cut them in half and roast them on a layer of cheese and spices. The key to achieving that extra crispiness lies in how you arrange the potatoes — cut-side down in the pan. It may require a little fuss, but trust me, the results are absolutely worth it. Seasoned with garlic powder, dried herbs and paprika, these Parmesan baby potatoes burst with bold flavor and boast a delightfully crisp exterior. You can opt to add crushed black pepper or chili flakes to the seasoning blend to make it more spicy, or keep things simple and follow the recipe as is. While fingerling potatoes will work in this recipe, baby potatoes, also known as new potatoes, work best.

To make the Parmesan Roasted Baby Potatoes, you will need the following ingredients:
