Roasted new potatoes with parmesan and fresh herbs is an easy side dish sure to please everyone. They are golden and crispy on the outside and tender and flaky on the inside.
One of the things I like about blogging is the inspiration you get from other bloggers. Recently my friend Traci, from Vanilla and Bean, posted a great side dish and I realized that I don’t have very many side dishes on my blog. So today I’m sharing an easy side dish – roasted new potatoes with parmesan and fresh herbs.
Roasting new potatoes couldn’t be easier. Just chop them in half and toss with a little olive oil, garlic, salt and pepper. Roast for about 35 minutes and they come out crispy and golden brown on the outside and flaky and tender on the inside. Next, sprinkle them with a little freshly grated parmesan cheese and finely, minced herbs and you’ve got the perfect side dish that everyone loves.
A couple of notes:
- For the fresh herbs, I used parsley and thyme, but you can use any fresh herbs that you like.
- Start checking your potatoes around 30 minutes. Mine have been ready pretty consistently around 35 minutes but every oven is different.
- No need to flip or toss the potatoes during the cooking process – they come out evenly brown without tossing.
- Finely grated parmesan cheese will easily melt and coat the potatoes when they come out of the oven – so please grate your own parmesan rather than use pre-grated cheese.

I agree – the parmesan really adds great flavor to these roasted potatoes! Thanks for leaving a rating – I appreciate it!
I often cook potatoes with herbs but have never tried the parmesan, what a great idea!
Thanks, Anna. The parmesan melts and coats the potatoes and it’s delicious!
Roasted potatoes and cheese and herbs are all my favorites so I’m really loving this side dish!! They look so crispy and delicious and I know my husband would love them too 🙂
Thanks so much, Izzy – can’t go wrong with roasted potatoes!
I’ll use any excuse to devour potatoes, especially ones dusted with parmesan cheese and fresh herbs. I’ve always had a problem roasting potatoes, getting them to my desired crispiness. Looking at your recipe, I’ve been roasting my potatoes too low and for too long, low and slow hasn’t been successful, high and fast seems like the way to go 🙂
Hi Mary – yes, I think the high heat does the job and makes them super crispy. Thanks for stopping by!
Fresh herbs make everything better. And prettier! I’ve always been a meat and potatoes kind of girl at heart, and these oven roasted beauties will definitely be gracing my table soon enough!
Thanks, Jessica – I agree about fresh herbs. Now that the weather is warm, I’m growing all kinds and throw them in everything!
These look fantastic – I have a bag of new potatoes right now and this recipe is calling their name! 🙂
Thanks, Allie – hope you try them – super easy and yummy!
I have so few side dishes, too! I love these potatoes, they look so perfectly crispy and delish!! And you can’t beat the flavor of new potatoes.
Thanks, Denise!
This is a perfect side dish! Crispy on the outside, tender on the inside…that’s my kind of potato! And I love your choice of herbs! So delicious, Geraldine! Have a lovely weekend, my friend!
Thanks, Annie – hope you had a great holiday weekend!
Roasted potatoes are the best! I love the parmesan and fresh herbs, this is a side dish I could almost make a main meal! Your photos are so beautiful too!
Thanks so much, Meghan!
I can live on potatoes. I mean seriously how delicious are they! And I am drooling at these and love how you got them crispy and then coated them with this delicious parmesan mix!! I wish this was my dinner!!
Thanks, Ami – I could eat a whole plate for dinner too :)!
I just love roasted potatoes, Geraldine, and sometimes we find ourselves just eating a whole tray full of roasted veggies for dinner during the winter months. I haven’t thought to add parsley and thyme though but now I will! Delicious! I’m a big fan of Traci’s blog as well.
Your pics! Gorgeousness, Girl! Sharing everywhere 🙂
Thanks, Robyn – I always look forward to your comments and thanks so much for all the sharing – you rock!
Oh my, I love this recipe, Geraldine. You are so right about a pleasing veggie to just about anyone’s diet and/or palate. You’ve captured the essence of this recipe with crispy edges and creamy center. I’m SO craving potatoes now! Love the addition of grated parm! No doubt, I could use more side dish recipes too.. thank YOU for your inspiration my dear and the link love! xo
Yay for potatoes! I’m always so inspired by your recipes and beautiful photos, Traci.
This is my absolute favorite way to eat potatoes! There is nothing better than potatoes that are crispy on the outside, tender on the inside- with a little salt, pepper, some herbs, garlic and parmesan! Yum, yum! Ugh now I want these for lunch!
Me too, Michelle – It’s my favorite way to make them – and who does love a good crispy roasted potato!
I love the crispy outside and then the fluffy inside. I have a true weakness for potatoes….especially roasted potatoes. This is total comfort food for me!
Thanks, Kathy – definitely comfort food!
Roasted potatoes always make for a perfect side Geraldine! My boys never liked potatoes as kids (unless they were french fries), but now they love potatoes. Go figure. I love the bit of parmesan and the parsley and thyme in your recipe. Thanks for sharing!
Aren’t kids funny, Mary Ann. Glad they got on board and realized how delicious roasted potatoes are.
The thing about “side dishes” is that I could always eat them plain as a meal, especially if it’s something seriously delicious like these potatoes, Geraldine! I am a potat-oholic (if there is such a thing), and crispy roasted potatoes are my weakness!! Love the parmesan and fresh herbs here. These look perfect and I could totally call these dinner! 😉 Cheers, friend!
I’m a potat-oholic too, Cheyanne (great word!) – it was definitely not hard doing the testing on this recipe!
