For this delicious Garlic Herb Potato Bake, you’ll need about 3 pounds of small potatoes. I like using small potatoes because they cook evenly and have a lovely creamy texture. You’ll also want some olive oil to help everything crisp up beautifully.

Italian seasoning brings that classic herb flavor, and of course, don’t forget the chopped garlic for that delicious aroma.

To finish it off, we’ll need some green onions for a nice pop of color and freshness, and a drizzle of Parmesan Garlic wing sauce for that extra kick. Grab a greased 9×13 baking dish, and you’re ready to get cooking! Don’t be shy about the cheese either-I go heavy on it because who doesn’t love a gooey, cheesy potato dish?

How To Make It

Making this Garlic Herb Potato Bake is as easy as pie. Seriously, once you get the hang of it, you’ll be dreaming up new variations. Let’s break it down into simple steps.

Preparation

First things first, preheat your oven to 400 degrees. While that’s heating up, grab those small potatoes and cut them in half. I like to keep the skin on because it adds extra texture and flavor.

Toss the halved potatoes in a bowl with enough olive oil to coat them nicely. Then, add your chopped garlic, Italian seasoning, and half of the green onions. Oh, and don’t forget that Parmesan Garlic wing sauce-mix everything together until those potatoes are well-coated.

Now, transfer your potato mix into your greased baking dish. Make sure they’re spread out evenly so they can bake up nice and crispy. Trust me, this is where the magic happens.

Cooking

Once your potatoes are in the oven, you’re in for a treat. Bake them for about 45 minutes to an hour. You’ll want to keep an eye on them, stirring halfway through to ensure they cook evenly.

As they bake, you’ll notice a golden crust forming on the top-this is the sign that they’re getting that perfect crunch. The aroma wafting through your kitchen will have everyone asking what’s cooking.

The key to knowing when they’re done is by poking them with a fork. You want them tender on the inside and crispy on the outside. When they are perfectly golden and soft, pull them from the oven and sprinkle the remaining green onions on top.

That fresh bite will add a nice contrast to the rich flavors of the dish.

Serving & Variations

This Garlic Herb Potato Bake is fantastic on its own, but it also pairs beautifully with grilled meats, roasted vegetables, or even alongside a fresh salad. If you’re feeling adventurous, try swapping out the Parmesan Garlic wing sauce for a spicy buffalo sauce or a tangy barbecue sauce-it’s a fun twist that gives this dish a whole new flavor profile.

Roasted baby potatoes with herbs and spices, garnished with chopped green onions. The potatoes are golden brown and appear crispy on the outside.

A common consensus among home cooks is: letting the potatoes sit for a few minutes after baking helps them firm up slightly, making them easier to serve. If you have leftovers, they store beautifully in the fridge for a couple of days. Just reheat them in the oven for a few minutes to get that crispiness back.
