These Parmesan Parsley Roasted Potatoes are the perfect weeknight side dish for just about anything you are cooking. The best part is there are two ways to cook them! Roasted in the oven if you have a little more time, or cooked in the air fryer if you're trying to get dinner on the table more quickly.
Do you struggle to come up with side dishes? I definitely do! I feel like we eat the same side dishes over and over again. So, I'm always looking for new seasonings to change up the dishes we eat most commonly.
What potatoes should you use?
I prefer to roast small potatoes instead of their larger counterparts. Here are some great smaller potato options:
- baby red potatoes
- creamer potatoes
- tri-color baby potatoes
- fingerling potatoes
What you need to make Parmesan Parsley roasted potatoes
- baby or fingerling potatoes
- olive oil
- Parmesan cheese
- salt and pepper
- fresh parsley
How to roast potatoes
Season the potatoes: Toss the potatoes together in a large bowl with the olive oil, Parmesan cheese, salt, pepper and parsley.
In the Oven: Spread the potatoes out in an even layer on a foil-lined sheet pan. Cook at 400 for 30-35 minutes, rotating the pan half-way through. Sprinkle additional Parmesan and parsley on top before serving.
In the Air Fryer: Add potatoes to a preheated 400 degree air fryer and cook for 15-18 minutes. Remove from the air fryer and top with Parmesan and additional parsley. (You can use the Air Fry or Roast setting on your fryer, depending on the brand)
Flavor substitutions for roasted potatoes
- Garlic - use powdered if cooking in the air fryer, use powdered or minced if oven roasting
- Herbs - swap out parsley for basil, oregano, thyme, rosemary, marjoram, Italian seasoning or any combination of them
- Cheese - replace Parmesan with pecorino or romano.

- Beef Dishes like Korean BBQ Burgers, Grilled London Broil or Italian Beef Sandwiches
