Garlic Parmesan Roasted Baby Potatoes
A pan of roasted potatoes is one of my most dependable sides. These are baby potatoes, halved, tossed with garlic, dried rosemary and thyme, and roasted until the cut sides turn crisp and golden.
The Parmesan goes on at the end, with just two or three minutes back in the oven to melt. That keeps it from burning and gives each potato a salty, cheesy cap.
For the crispiest potatoes
Spread them in a single layer with space between them, cut side down if you can. Piled-up potatoes steam and stay pale. Flip them halfway so both sides color.
They go with almost anything, from roast chicken to steak. Planning the rest of the plate? Try my side dishes and salads.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use larger potatoes?
Cut them into bite-size chunks about the size of a halved baby potato so they roast in the same time.
Fresh or dried herbs?
I use dried rosemary and thyme for roasting, since fresh herbs can scorch at 400°F. Fresh parsley goes on at the end.
