Description

Cheesy Garlic Herb Roasted Potatoes are a deliciously golden and crispy side dish featuring tender baby potatoes tossed in fragrant garlic, thyme, rosemary, and parsley, then roasted to perfection with a melty blend of mozzarella and Parmesan cheese. This crowd-pleasing recipe is quick to prepare and perfect for weeknight dinners or special occasions.

Ingredients

Potatoes and Seasoning

  • 2 lbs baby potatoes, halved
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
  • 1 teaspoon dried parsley
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Cheese and Garnish

  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper or lightly greasing it to prevent sticking.
  2. Toss Potatoes with Seasonings: In a large bowl, combine the halved baby potatoes with olive oil, minced garlic, dried thyme, rosemary, parsley, salt, and pepper. Toss thoroughly until all pieces are evenly coated with the flavorful mixture.
  3. Arrange on Baking Sheet: Spread the seasoned potatoes evenly on the prepared baking sheet, placing the cut sides down to ensure extra crispiness during roasting.
  4. First Roast: Roast the potatoes in the oven for 25 to 30 minutes, or until they become golden brown and tender when pierced with a fork.
  5. Add Cheese: Remove the baking sheet from the oven and evenly sprinkle the shredded mozzarella and grated Parmesan cheeses over the hot potatoes.
  6. Second Roast: Return the potatoes to the oven and continue roasting for an additional 5 to 7 minutes, until the cheese melts completely and becomes bubbly and slightly golden.
  7. Garnish and Serve: Take the potatoes out of the oven and garnish with freshly chopped parsley. Serve hot to enjoy maximum flavor and cheesiness.

Notes

  • For crispier potatoes, make sure the potatoes are spread out in a single layer without overcrowding.
  • You can substitute baby potatoes with Yukon gold or red potatoes chopped into bite-sized pieces.
  • Fresh herbs can be used instead of dried for a brighter flavor, adjusting quantity accordingly.
  • To add a spicy kick, sprinkle a pinch of red pepper flakes with the seasonings.
  • Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheated in the oven to maintain crispiness.
