Herb Roasted Potatoes

I’m always up for a quick side dish that lacks in effort but does not lack in taste. These herb roasted potatoes are a great go-to recipe. The potatoes have a wonderful light herb flavor. They’re creamy buttery inside (you can also use fingerling potatoes for even more buttery creaminess!). And they have one of my favorite things: crunchy skin.

Herb Roasted Potatoes

Make sure your potatoes are pretty much all equal in size when you make these herb roasted potatoes. You don’t want a bunch of big pieces mixed in with small ones or the cook times will vary. You’ll end up with big not-quite-done-potatoes and little over-done ones. You don’t want that. So if you have to, halve them or even quarter them to get them all the same sizes. You can also make this dish with either baby red potatoes or fingerlings.

I also like to make these potatoes on my grills, either gas or charcoal or even electric. I use a grill basket like this one. It makes cooking them super easy, and I don’t have to worry about anything falling between the grill grates. Clean-up is also super easy. Grill baskets are a win and a must-have for grilling!

Roasted Garlic Parmesan Potatoes on the Char-Broil Big Easy

Note: This recipe was developed using the Char-Broil Big Easy Oil-Less Fryer. If you are cooking using the Char-Broil Smoker-Roaster Grill you should cook with the lid open and the temperature set to High. You might also need to adjust the cooking time.

This is one of the best side dishes we’ve made. Roasted garlic Parmesan potatoes on the Char-Broil Big Easy was crazy easy to make, used simple ingredients, yet came out absolutely delicious. The idea for these roasted garlic Parmesan potatoes came to me after making roasted mushrooms with the same sauce. The sauce is so good I had to find other dishes that would use it, and here it is!

Roasted Garlic Parmesan Potatoes on the Char-Broil Big Easy

I like to partially cook my potatoes first before placing them into the Char-Broil Big Easy. It makes this dish easier and quicker. It also helps ensure that the potatoes in this roasted garlic Parmesan potatoes dish on the Char-Broil Big Easy are cooked evenly, and that’s important.

The sauce is amazing, and has quickly become one of our favorites.

You have to get a bunk bed basket for your Big Easy. Or get a two. You can get two in the cooker at once, but it takes some gymnastics. It’s the quickest way to double or triple the cooking area on your fryer.

Crispy Parmesan Potatoes

We were looking for the perfect side for our Stove Top stuffing meatloaf. We thought perhaps it would be mashed potatoes. Creamy homemade mashed potatoes would definitely be good with the wonderful brown gravy from the meatloaf. But we both wanted something a little crunchy, something roasted… something with more flavor than ‘just’ mashed potatoes. These crispy Parmesan potatoes were definitely the perfect side. We could not have found a better pairing for our stick-to-our-ribs meatloaf! The crispy edges were a good contrast to the meatloaf.

Crispy Parmesan Potatoes

The original recipe for these crispy Parmesan potatoes called for using fingerling potatoes. As much as we both love fingerlings, we felt that cubed Russets would give us more of that crunchy texture, more of that wonderful roasted-ness that we were both craving. We made the right call as they were fantastic! Fingerlings probably would’ve been just fine. If I could’ve found them!

I highly recommend that you shred or grate your own cheese at home. Don’t buy the pre-shredded or pre-grated stuff. It has stuff added to it to keep it from sticking together. That ‘stuff’ affects how the cheese melts. Shred it yourself and use the good stuff.

Roasted Potatoes with Warm Blue Cheese Sauce

Somewhere, probably, there’s a rule written down that goes something like ‘don’t eat all of the warm blue cheese sauce before you serve the roasted potatoes’. If there is such a rule, I ignored it because the sauce is fantastic. And yeah, it really is great with roasted potatoes. Tender, buttery potatoes that have that slight skin ‘pop’ when you bite into them. Perfect.

Roasted Potatoes with Warm Blue Cheese Sauce

I sometimes find that too much fresh rosemary is a not a good thing. It can be a bit overwhelming. I totally did not find that to be the case with these roasted potatoes with warm blue cheese sauce. Not even at all. The amount of rosemary is spot-on, and I think the dish needed every bit of it. I would not cut back on it even though my first though was to do just that.

You can cook the potatoes on a grill instead of in the oven. Using a grilling basket such as the one below makes for easy cooking, easy cleanup, and helps make sure your potatoes are cooked nice and evenly.

The blue cheese sauce is great on other roasted vegetables too, like green beans, asparagus, you name it. And baked potatoes!

Garlic Red Potatoes

Who doesn’t love perfectly roasted red potatoes? A little garlic, a little citrus, a little cheese and a little time and you’ve got the perfect side dish. A light crunchy outside, creamy buttery inside. I used red potatoes in my garlic red potato recipe, but you could use any potato you want. Fingerlings are great made this way too. You get lightly crunchy outsides. And fluffy, tender insides. The perfect potatoes!

Garlic Red Potatoes

The addition of lemon really lightens these garlic red potatoes. I wouldn’t leave it out. If you want a bit of a kick, add a few good pinches of dried red pepper flake. To ensure your potatoes come out perfectly, select potatoes that are all approximately the same sizes when quartered. If you use smaller potatoes, such as fingerlings or baby potatoes, you can keep them whole if you wish.

I also make these potatoes on my grill. I use a grill basket to make cooking them easier. It also makes for easy cleanup.
