Italian Dressing Roasted Red Potatoes

Crispy on the outside, tender in the middle, and packed with zesty Italian flavor, these roasted red potatoes are one of the easiest side dishes you can make. With just a handful of ingredients, they come together quickly and pair beautifully with chicken, beef, pork, or fish.

🥔 Ingredients

2 lbs (900 g) red potatoes, cut into 1-inch cubes
½ cup Italian dressing
3 cloves garlic, minced
½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
½ teaspoon black pepper
½ teaspoon Italian seasoning
2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
Salt, to taste

👩‍🍳 Instructions

1. Prepare the Oven

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).

Lightly grease a large sheet pan or line it with parchment paper.

2. Prepare the Potatoes

Wash and dry the red potatoes thoroughly.

Cut them into evenly sized cubes so they roast at the same rate.

Place them in a large bowl.

3. Add the Flavor

Pour the Italian dressing over the potatoes.

Add the minced garlic, Italian seasoning, black pepper, and a small amount of salt.

Toss until the potatoes are evenly coated.

4. Arrange on the Sheet Pan

Spread the potatoes across the prepared sheet pan in a single layer.

Try not to overcrowd them. Leaving space between the pieces helps them roast rather than steam.

5. Roast

Roast for 30–40 minutes, turning the potatoes with a spatula about halfway through.

Continue roasting until the potatoes are fork-tender with crispy, golden edges.

6. Add Parmesan

During the final 5 minutes, sprinkle the Parmesan cheese evenly over the potatoes.

Return the pan to the oven until the cheese melts and becomes lightly golden.

7. Finish and Serve

Remove from the oven and sprinkle with fresh parsley.

Serve immediately while hot and crispy.

⭐ Tips for Extra-Crispy Potatoes

Dry the potatoes thoroughly before seasoning.
Don’t overcrowd the sheet pan.
Cut the potatoes into similar-sized pieces.
Roast at high heat for better browning.
For even crispier edges, preheat the sheet pan before adding the potatoes.
Use freshly grated Parmesan for the best flavor.
