Italian Roasted Potatoes

Italian Roasted Potatoes
Italian Roasted Potatoes - buttery, cheesy oven-roasted potatoes with Italian seasoning, garlic, paprika and Parmesan cheese. So delicious!
This Italian roasted potatoes recipe is fast becoming my favorite side dish in my family.
The reason is very simple; these potatoes are super easy to make but they are absolutely out-of-the-world delicious. Just look at the pictures, don’t you agree?
I love baby potatoes and they are perfect for these Italian roasted potatoes. Baby potatoes are quick to cook and take only 20 minutes from prep to dinner. Just pick up the smallest baby potatoes you can find at your local store the next time you go shopping.
I started off the potatoes on the stove top, cooking them with garlic and Italian seasonings. Top with generous amount of Parmesan cheese and transfer the skillet into the oven and roast for 15 minutes. To make things even better, top the potatoes with small butter cubes. Let them melt and you will have the best roasted potatoes you have ever made at home!

Ingredients
1 lb baby potatoes
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 cloves garlic minced
1 teaspoon bottled Italian seasoning
1/4 teaspoon salt or to taste
2 dashes paprika
1/3 cup shredded Parmesan cheese
1 teaspoon chopped parsley leaves
2 tablespoons unsalted butter cut into small cubes
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400F. Clean and rinse the baby potatoes, drain and cut into halves.
Heat up an oven-safe skillet (cast-iron preferred) and add the olive oil. Add the potatoes and cook until the surface turns crispy. Turn over the cook the skin side until nicely browned. Push the potatoes to one side and saute the garlic, follow by the Italian seasoning, salt and paprika, stir to combine well. Turn off the heat and sprinkle the cheese and parsley on top of the potatoes. Transfer the skillet into the oven, roast for 15 minutes. Add the butter cubes on top of the potatoes, serve immediately.

Recipe Notes
I used extremely small baby potatoes. If you have bigger potatoes, roast for 20 minutes or until cooked. You may also roast the potatoes right away in the oven. Just combine the olive oil, garlic, potatoes, Italian seasoning, salt and paprika with the potatoes and follow the remaining steps. Roast for 20 minutes.
