Parmesan Rosemary Roasted Potatoes

When my boys were little, they were no different from others in that french fries seemed to be the vegetable of choice. When we're dining out, that's perfectly fine but, at home I wanted to introduce them to other choices. After explaining to them that these are also potatoes just in a different shape, they somehow become more enthusiastic about eating them. Another bonus with these potatoes is, that potatoes appeal to vegetarians and meat lovers alike. My brother is a vegetarian, and when he visits, I always make a special effort to have choices that appeal to him, too.

 

How to Make the Best Parmesan Rosemary Roasted Potatoes Recipe

• Ingredients you'll need to make homemade Parmesan Rosemary Roasted Potatoes: 3 pounds red potatoes, olive oil, garlic salt, fresh rosemary, black pepper, dry Italian seasoning and grated Parmesan cheese.
• Kitchen gadgets you'll need: A sharp knife and cutting board, measuring cups and spoons, a mixing bowl, a large stirring spoon or spatula and a large baking sheet.
• When cubing the potatoes, keep the pieces similar in size. This will allow for even roasting.
• My first choice would be using freshly grated Parmesan cheese for these roasted potatoes. In a pinch, you can use canned Parmesan cheese for this recipe.
• You can use russet potatoes, yellow potatoes or white potatoes for this recipe. You could also adapt it using a variety of petite potatoes like I did in this recipe for Air Fryer Crispy Potatoes. The purples and yellow are like eye candy on your plate.
• To cut calories, you can use an  oil mister or cooking spray in place of olive oil. The key to this is liberally spraying the potatoes so they'll roast beautiful and crispy.
• Store leftover Parmesan Rosemary Roasted Potatoes chilled in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat in an air fryer for a few minutes or in a preheat 375°F oven on a sheet pan for 5-8 minutes or until heated through.

Southern Style Side Dishes to Serve with Roasted Potatoes

I like serving these Parmesan rosemary roasted potatoes alongside an Italian inspired Pot Roast, or Balsamic Chicken with Mushrooms and Onion in place of pasta. A classic meat and potato pairing these potatoes shine alongside are my grilled Bacon Wrapped Top Sirloin Medallions. They also complement my French country inspired Chicken and Smoked Sausage Cassoulet.  You may also like to serve them in place of fries or chips alongside this Italian Sub from Land O'Lakes. This dish features simple flavors, with a spectacular flavor combination that always hits the spot.
