Wash and dry the baby potatoes (or Yukon Gold potatoes if using), then cut them into bite-sized pieces if they’re larger.
Step 2: Season the Potatoes
In a large mixing bowl, toss the potatoes with the olive oil, minced garlic, salt, pepper, and dried herbs (if using). Make sure each piece is well-coated with the oil and seasonings.
Step 3: Add Parmesan Cheese
Add the grated Parmesan cheese to the potatoes and toss again until evenly distributed. The Parmesan will create a delicious, crispy crust as it bakes.
Step 4: Roast the Potatoes
Spread the potatoes in an even layer on a large baking sheet lined with parchment paper or foil. Be sure to leave space between the potatoes to ensure even roasting.
Roast the potatoes in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, tossing halfway through, until they are golden brown and crispy on the edges.
Step 5: Garnish and Serve
Remove the roasted potatoes from the oven and sprinkle with fresh parsley. Serve hot alongside your favorite main dish.
