Crispy Parmesan Roasted Potatoes are the perfect fall side dish. The technique of turning down the temperature while cooking the potatoes results in golden brown perfectly evenly cooked potatoes. The Parmesan adds extra flavor and more crispness. It’s an easy twist on a classic recipe that makes it even better.
New potatoes are diced up and tossed in a mix of melted butter and olive oil, and seasoned with fresh thyme, salt, pepper, and a generous amount of Parmesan. The active preparation time is just a few minutes, and the steps are so simple that anyone can successfully make this recipe.
These potatoes are the perfect side dish to serve with a fall roast like Shallot and Mushroom Pork Tenderloin, Goat Cheese, Butternut Squash, and Sage Stuffed Pork, or Lemon Garlic Roast Chicken. I served these potatoes with Creamy Mushroom Chicken and they were a wonderful way to complete the meal.
