These crunchy Parmentier Potatoes and so easy to make. Baked until golden and drenched in garlic and herbs.
Crunchy, crispy, and smothered with fresh herbs and garlic.
This potato dish is normally made by carefully parboiling potatoes and then cooking again in oil. As I am ALWAYS looking for a shortcut, I make these without boiling the potatoes.
They perhaps look a little more ‘rugged’ than some versions but what they lack in finesse they make up for in ease and taste.
Hope you love them as much as we do!
These Parmentier Potatoes are a winner and here’s why:
- So easy to make, no special equipment needed.

FAQs about Parmentier Potatoes
Which potatoes should I use for this recipe?
Maris Piper or King Edward both work well. Any potato that says on the bag that it’s suitable for roasting.
Do I really not need to parboil the potatoes?
Nope! You can and they will be a neater shape and more uniform colour (depending on your oven) but honestly, I’m such a fan of cutting out any unnecessary steps.
They still taste totally delicious.
Can I use dried herbs for this?
I like to use fresh herbs here as they give SO much flavour, I think it’s worth taking the time to buy and chop them if you can.
If you only have dried herbs, use a TEASPOON of each instead of a TABLESPOON of fresh.
Which oil should I use for this recipe?
