reasons to make garlic red potatoes
There is a lot to love about this garlic potatoes recipe. It’s one of our favorite sides for a healthy dinner because they are:

- Simple, yet delicious – a few pantry staples come together in under an hour (only 10 minutes of prep) for a tasty side dish!
ingredients for this red potatoes recipe
For these garlic potatoes you’ll need:
- red baby potatoes – these are great for roasting because they get a crispy outside while maintaining a soft center
- olive oil – this is our favorite oil for roasting potatoes but avocado oil also works
- dried parsley, salt, pepper
- parmesan cheese – we like to use freshly grated parmesan – it melts better!
- garlic
ingredient substitutions
Red Potatoes: The best substitutes are thin skinned potatoes. You can make this recipe with fingerling, russet, or yellow potatoes – but we like red potatoes best! Yukon gold potatoes will also work but often don’t get as crispy!
Olive Oil: You can substitute avocado oil, melted butter, or ghee.
Parmesan Cheese: We don’t recommend substituting the parmesan in this recipe. Other cheeses have more moisture in them and will not result in crispy potatoes. If you don’t like it, you can omit it.
How to Make Roasted Garlic Potatoes
- Slice potatoes in half.
- In a bowl, toss all ingredients until evenly coated.
- Spread coated potatoes evenly on a parchment lined baking sheet.
- Bake at 400° for 20 minutes, then flip using a spatula and bake for another 20 minutes until golden brown and crispy.
tips for making garlic potatoes
Make sure your potatoes are evenly coated in olive oil. This ensures that they get crispy when roasted!
Don’t overcrowd the pan – You’ll want your potatoes to be spread out evenly so enough air can circulate while they’re roasting. This will help them get crispy!
Use good quality parmesan cheese– You can grate the parmesan fresh, or use a good quality pre-grated parmesan. Nothing from a green container that is shelf stable 🙂
storing and reheating leftover roasted potatoes
Storing: Potatoes will last in the refrigerator for up to 4 days in an airtight container.
Freezing: We don’t recommend freezing roasted potatoes, they lose their crispiness!
Reheating: We recommend reheating these potatoes in the oven or toaster oven to get them crispy again. You can reheat this recipe in the microwave but they will not be crispy.

My boyfriend and I made these potatoes as a side the other night for the first time, and we absolutely loved how they turned out! After searching for simple and tasty potato recipes on Pinterest, I came across this and thought it sounded good especially after reading how simple the steps are. They turned out even better than expected and now this recipe will be a new go-to for us. Super flavorful and crispy! Thanks for sharing!
After the first time I made these my kids always ask if we can have “the good potatoes” for dinner. They are delicious and super easy to make! I followed the recipe exactly as written and they came out great- I’m making them again this week and I’m sure many more times to come!
So tasty!
so glad you liked them, Hannah!
How long and what temperature would I use in the air fryer? Definitely want to try this recipe. Thanks for sharing.
I don’t use an air fryer so I’m not sure! You could try looking up your model air fryer and how to roast potatoes in it and use those cooking instructions!
