Q1: Can I use a different type of potato instead of baby potatoes?

Yes — while baby potatoes are ideal for their size and texture, you can also use fingerling potatoes or cut larger potatoes (like Yukon Gold or red potatoes) into evenly sized chunks. Just ensure uniform shapes so they roast evenly. Many home cooks make this swap successfully. Ahead of Thyme+1

Q2: How can I make these garlic parmesan potatoes extra crispy?

To maximize crispiness, score the potato halves with shallow cuts (crosshatch), so the cheese and garlic oil cling better. Also, make sure the potatoes are placed cut-side down and spaced out on the pan. Flipping them halfway through roasting helps even browning. My Kitchen, My Studio’s recipe uses this scoring trick.

Q3: Is it possible to make these in the air fryer?

Yes! According to Ahead of Thyme, you can roast the seasoned potatoes in an air fryer at 375°F for 20–22 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through. Ahead of Thyme This method saves time and still delivers a crispy outer layer.

Q4: How do I store leftovers, and can I reheat them without losing flavor or texture?

Store leftover garlic parmesan potatoes in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. Ahead of Thyme When reheating, use the oven or air fryer to restore crispiness — about 8–10 minutes at 375°F works well. Avoid microwaving if you want to preserve that golden crust.
