Ingredients

• 500 grams Baby potatoes (or small waxy potatoes)
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon Dried thyme
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese (optional, finely grated)
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (optional, chopped)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil for easy cleanup.

Step 2

Wash the baby potatoes thoroughly and pat them dry. Leave the skins on for added texture and flavor.

Step 3

Cut any larger potatoes in half so all pieces are roughly the same size for even cooking.

Step 4

In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, salt, garlic powder, smoked paprika, dried thyme, and black pepper.

Step 5

Add the potatoes to the bowl and toss them until they are evenly coated in the oil and seasoning mixture.

Step 6

Spread the potatoes out onto the prepared baking sheet in a single layer, making sure they are not overcrowded.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, flipping the potatoes halfway through, until they are golden-brown and crispy on the outside while tender on the inside.

Step 8

Remove the potatoes from the oven and transfer them to a large heatproof container with a tight-fitting lid (a large bowl with a cover works too).

Step 9

Add the Parmesan cheese (if using) to the container and shake vigorously to evenly coat the potatoes and enhance the seasoning.

Step 10

Serve immediately, garnished with fresh parsley for a pop of color and freshness. Enjoy your crispy Shaker Potatoes!
