Ingredients
- 2 lbs Baby potatoes
- 3 tbsp Olive oil
- 1.5 tsp Garlic powder
- 1 tsp Paprika
- 1 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper
- 0.75 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tbsp Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
Step 2
Wash and dry the baby potatoes. Slice each one in half to ensure even cooking.
Step 3
Place the halved potatoes in a large mixing bowl. Drizzle the olive oil over them and toss to coat evenly.
Step 4
Sprinkle the garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper over the potatoes. Toss again to distribute the seasonings evenly.
Step 5
Add the grated Parmesan cheese to the bowl and gently toss to coat the potatoes in the cheese. The cheese will stick to the olive oil-coated surfaces.
Step 6
Spread the potatoes out in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, cut side down for maximum crispiness.
Step 7
Bake in the preheated oven for 35–40 minutes, or until the potatoes are golden brown and crispy on the edges. You can check for doneness by poking them with a fork; they should be tender inside.
Step 8
Remove the potatoes from the oven and let them cool slightly. If desired, garnish with fresh parsley for a pop of color and extra flavor.
Step 9
Serve immediately and enjoy the compliments from your guests!
