Ingredients

• 1.5 pounds baby potatoes
• 3 cups cornflakes
• 0.5 cups Parmesan cheese (grated)
• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 0.5 teaspoons paprika
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.

Step 2

Wash the baby potatoes thoroughly and cut them in half or into quarters, depending on their size, to ensure even cooking.

Step 3

Cook the potatoes in a large pot of salted boiling water for 5-7 minutes, until slightly tender but not fully cooked. Drain and set aside to cool slightly.

Step 4

While the potatoes are cooling, crush the cornflakes in a resealable plastic bag or food processor until they resemble coarse crumbs. Transfer the crushed cornflakes to a mixing bowl.

Step 5

Add the Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper to the bowl with the crushed cornflakes, stirring to combine the coating mixture.

Step 6

In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the butter and combine it with the olive oil. Drizzle the mixture over the cooled potatoes, tossing them gently to coat evenly.

Step 7

Working in small batches, roll the butter-coated potatoes in the cornflake mixture, pressing gently to help the crumbs stick. Place the coated potatoes on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer, ensuring they are not overcrowded.

Step 8

Bake the potatoes in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, turning them halfway through the baking time, until they are golden brown and crispy on all sides.

Step 9

Remove the potatoes from the oven and let them cool for 5 minutes before transferring them to a serving dish. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired.

Step 10

Serve immediately and enjoy the crispy, savory goodness of these cornflake-coated potatoes!
