Crispy Parmesan Potatoes
activeEstimatedCut each potato in half, adding to the olive oil mixture as you slice to avoid browning. Toss the potatoes with the oil mixture until coated. Add the Parmesan to the potatoes and toss until just coated so as not to cause the cheese to clump up and knock the cheese off each potato half.

Crispy Parmesan Potatoes
passiveArrange the potatoes on the lined baking sheet in a single layer with the cut side facing down, scraping whatever loose Parmesan mixture there is in the bowl onto the flat sides of the potatoes as you arrange. It’s okay if the potatoes are close together on the pan. Roast the potatoes until fork-tender and the Parmesan is a deep golden brown, 25 to 35 minutes, rotating the pan halfway.

125 min
Crispy Parmesan Potatoes
passiveRemove the baking sheet from the oven and let the potatoes sit for 5 minutes. This allows the Parmesan to cool slightly and set into its crispy, snappy texture. Flip the potatoes over (using a thin metal spatula, if needed) to reveal their golden brown, cheesy surface and transfer to a serving platter. Top with more parsley and serve right away. Leftover potatoes can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. To reheat, preheat the oven to 375°F with a rack set in the middle. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper. Arrange the leftover potatoes cut side down on the baking sheet and reheat until hot and the Parmesan has re-crisped, 5 to 10 minutes. Alternatively, toss them into the air fryer. Love the recipe? Leave us stars and a comment below!
