Tiktok Crispy Parmesan Potatoes Recipes
Viral TikTok Crispy Parmesan Potatoes are crispy, golden bites of heaven made with just six ingredients and ready in under an hour. They’re fast becoming a cult-favorite for good reason.
Each bite bursts with savory flavor from butter, garlic, and parmesan, creating a crunchy bottom layer that’s completely addictive. These might just outshine your favorite fries.
What You’ll Need for Crispy Parmesan Potatoes
- Mini golden potatoes – Their buttery, tender texture crisps beautifully in the oven, making them the perfect base.
- Butter – Melted to coat each potato half, it adds richness and helps crisp the bottoms.
- Parmesan cheese (finely grated) – Creates that irresistible crust and cheesy finish in every bite.
- Garlic powder – Brings warmth and aromatic depth to the savory butter mixture.
- Italian seasoning – Offers a subtle herby note that complements the garlic and cheese.
Let’s Make These Potatoes Shine!
Preheat your oven to 425°F and get your baking dish ready. Wash and halve the golden potatoes, keeping the skins on for texture.
Mix melted butter, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, and a portion of the parmesan into a paste. Toss the halved potatoes in this mixture until every surface is coated.
Arrange the potatoes cut-side down in the dish, then sprinkle more parmesan on top for that signature cheesy crust. Bake for 35–45 minutes until the edges are golden and crispy. That’s it — no flipping or fussing!
Crispy Secrets and Flavor Twists
For the crispiest bottoms, don’t overcrowd your baking dish — space between potatoes allows heat to circulate and edges to crisp. Use real Parmigiano-Reggiano if possible for better melting and bold flavor.
If you’re dairy-free, vegan butter and nutritional yeast make a great swap for butter and parmesan. Want a spicy twist? A pinch of red pepper flakes in the butter mix adds a subtle kick.
You can also play with seasoning: try smoked paprika, rosemary, or even ranch powder for a fun variation.
Saving the Crunch: Storing & Reheating Tips
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week. To reheat, the oven is best — just bake at 400°F for about 10 minutes to revive their crispiness.
Avoid microwaving if you can, as it softens that perfectly golden crust. If time is tight, an air fryer works beautifully to restore that crisp texture in minutes.
