Oven-roasted potatoes deserve more than just oil and a toss in the oven. Bone broth elevates this classic side dish with clever techniques that unlock layers of flavor and texture, transforming ordinary spuds into something truly special. A family favorite potato recipe, we use this technique in most potato dishes coming out of The Whole Revolution kitchen. It takes basic crispy parmesan potatoes to the next level while still being a simple recipe.
The Secret of Fluffy-Crispy Spuds:
- Bone Broth Parboil: Unlike regular roast potatoes, we precook the potatoes in heavily salted water. This infuses them with rich, savory flavor.
- Strategic Slicing: We slice them in half lengthwise, maximizing surface area. This allows for more delicious browning and crisping in the oven, leading to that irresistible golden crust we all crave.
Flavor Flav:
- Parmesan & Parsley Party: Roasted parmesan cheese adds a crispy, salty layer, while fresh parsley infuses a vibrant, herbal counterpoint.
- Nutritious Boost: Bone broth just a flavorful component; it's packed with protein, collagen, and minerals. Parboiling increases the bioavailability of these nutrients, making these potatoes more than just a tasty treat.

Instructions
- Bring a pot of water to a boil. Add the potatoes and salt, then simmer until fork-tender but not mushy. Drain and return to the pot.
- Pour in warm bone broth, cover, and let steam for 10 minutes. This infuses the potatoes with savory goodness.
- Cool slightly, then slice the tender potatoes in half lengthwise.
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Brush baking sheets with olive oil.
- Sprinkle each pan with Parmesan cheese and a generous shower of parsley in a single layer.
- Arrange the potato halves on the prepared baking sheet, cut-side down. Season with salt and pepper.
- Drizzle a little more good quality olive oil on top for that golden crust.
- Place the potatoes in your pre-heated oven and roast for 20-30 minutes, checking for desired crispness and golden brown hue.
- Taste and adjust seasoning (¼ to 1 teaspoon salt), then serve these beauties while they're piping hot!
- Serve as they are, or add a dollop of sour cream and sprinkle of fine cut green onions.
Substitutions
- No bone broth? Chicken broth or vegetable stock works in place of chicken stock.
- Don't have fresh parsley? Use any of your favorite fresh herbs. Also, a sprinkle of dried herbs like Italian seasoning, thyme, or rosemary adds a different note.
- Can't resist garlic? Use infused garlic oil for best results. You can also add minced garlic to the tops of the potatoes, but be careful to ensure garlic doesn't get to the bottom of the pan. The higher temperature will cause the garlic to burn and will create a bitter taste, taking away from the simple flavors that let the potato shine. Garlic powder can also be light sprinkled on the top of the potatoes along with the salt and pepper.
- No baby gold potatoes? You can use baby red potatoes, small Yukon gold potatoes. Russet potatoes can also be used but the cooking time will be longer unless cut into potato wedges.
Variations
- Go gourmet with truffle oil drizzle.
- Spice things up with a sprinkle of chili flakes or cayenne pepper.
- Swap Parmesan for Gruyere or Romano for a different cheesy twist.
- Make Greek potatoes by adding a Greek seasoning blend.
