These garlic roasted red potatoes have great flavor and tastes amazing. With only 5 ingredients, they are the perfect side dish for any day of the week.
Of all the potato recipes I make, my most favorite are the oven-roasted potatoes.
There is something about letting potatoes cook a long time that gives you perfectly crispy edges, golden brown color, and incredible flavor.
Don’t get me wrong, sweet potatoes and mashed Yukon gold potatoes are always delicious and I love them.
In fact, I have a whole page of easy side dishes that are just potatoes.
But this recipe with its fork tender inside and crispy garlic coating the outside is just so perfect that I come back to it again and again.
If you are looking for a tasty side dish and an easy recipe, these garlic potatoes are a fool-proof recipe that will give you great potatoes every single time.
What ingredients are in garlic roasted red potatoes?
- Red Potatoes: regular sized or baby potatoes both work great since you cut them into bite sized chunks
- Salted Butter: melted butter coats the potato pieces in the seasonings giving you perfect roast potatoes
- Minced Garlic: this has so much more flavor than garlic powder when roasting raw potatoes
- Salt: this makes everything else taste better and have more flavor
- Parmesan Cheese: be sure to use shredded cheese not powdered for a sharper cheese flavor
Pro Tip: If you really hate mincing your own garlic, you can buy bottled or tube garlic in the produce section of your grocery store.

Are garlic roasted red potatoes healthy?
Yes roasted garlic red potatoes are healthy!
Potatoes have so many nutrients in them especially when you keep the skin on.
Garlic is full of so many great antioxidants, it has a lot of health benefits.
And the butter is portioned to keep it inside a healthy diet.
However if you need a lower saturated fat diet, you can substitute the butter for olive oil.
It will change the taste, but if you use a higher quality oil, you will still get a great parmesan roasted garlic potatoes side dish.

How to reheat garlic roasted red potatoes:
Whether you are reheating frozen or refrigerated oven roasted garlic potatoes, you want to reheat them in a way that gives you that crispy exterior for a great skin on each bite.
That means using a stove or an oven.

Heat until warmed through and crispy, turning to heat evenly.
This gives you oven roasted garlic potatoes, just faster than the first time you cooked them.
