Ingredients

2 lbs mixed small baby potatoes i.e. baby red potatoes and baby Yukon gold potatoes (or your favorite)
2-3 Tbsp olive oil
1 tsp garlic salt
1 tsp black pepper
1 tsp granulated garlic
1 tsp smoked paprika
1-2 tsp herbes de provence or dry Italian seasoning
1/2 tsp onion powder
fresh rosemary sprigs and flaky sea salt for serving

Instructions

Wash and thoroughly dry baby potatoes. Preheat the oven to 425°F. Spray a baking sheet liberally with cooking spray or brush with olive oil. Set aside.
Cut small potatoes in half and larger potatoes into quarters. Place in a large bowl, Drizzle with olive oil, tossing to coat.
Season potatoes with garlic salt, black pepper, granulated garlic, paprika, herbes de provence (or Italian seasoning) and onion powder. Stir to distribute.
Arrange potatoes on the prepared sheet pan in a single layer cut side down.
Roast potatoes for 30-40 minutes (depending on size) OR until fork tender and golden brown. Turn halfway through baking for even browning. Remove from the oven, and drizzle with additional olive oil, if desired. (Pro Tip: You can broil for several minutes at the end of baking to char further.)
Toss with finely chopped rosemary and flaky salt, to taste then serve.

Notes

Potatoes - You can use any variety of small potatoes for this recipe. I used golden potatoes and red potatoes. You can use russet potatoes, yellow potatoes or white potatoes or fingerling potatoes for this recipe. Simply adjust the baking time according to size.
Olive Oil - Experiment with flavored oils such as truffle oil or garlic oil.
Adjust the Size - No two potatoes are exactly the same size. Tiny potatoes can be cut in half while larger potatoes should be quartered. Keep in mind the size for even baking.
Another name for baby potatoes is new potatoes. There is no need to peel the potatoes. You can also use fingerling potatoes for this recipe.
Potatoes – for this parmesan potatoes recipe. You could also adapt it using a variety of petite potatoes like I did in this recipe for Air Fryer Crispy Potatoes. The purple and yellow potatoes are like eye candy on your plate!
Garlic Salt – You can use plain salt and granulated garlic or garlic powder.
Fresh Herbs – You could use fresh parsley, chives, fresh chives or thyme for these herbed roasted potatoes.
Spices – You can sprinkle these garlic-roasted potatoes with crushed red pepper flakes for spice.
Parmesan Cheese – You can finish these potatoes with a sprinkle of freshly grated Parmesan cheese for these roasted potatoes. In a pinch, you can use canned Parmesan cheese, Parmesan-Reggiano or Parmesan-Romano cheese.
Lighter Options – To cut calories for this easy side dish, 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.
