Ingredients
- Baby Potatoes (1 ½ lbs, halved) – Creamy on the inside, crispy on the outside.
- Parmesan Cheese (½ cup, grated) – Creates the perfect crunchy coating.
- Garlic Powder (1 tsp) – Adds a savory depth of flavor.
- Paprika (½ tsp) – Enhances the color and taste.
- Salt (½ tsp) – Brings out the flavors.
- Black Pepper (¼ tsp) – A hint of spice.
- Olive Oil (3 tbsp) – Helps achieve crispy edges.
- Fresh Parsley (2 tbsp, chopped) – For a fresh finishing touch.
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil for easy cleanup.
In a small bowl, mix grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Drizzle the halved baby potatoes with olive oil and toss to coat evenly. Sprinkle the Parmesan mixture over the potatoes and mix until well-coated.
Place the potatoes cut-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 35–40 minutes, or until the potatoes are crispy and golden brown.
Remove from the oven and sprinkle with fresh parsley. Serve immediately and enjoy!
Notes
- Use Freshly Grated Parmesan: Pre-packaged cheese doesn’t melt as well.
- Don’t Overcrowd the Pan: Leave space between the potatoes for even crisping.
- Place Cut-Side Down: Ensures maximum crunch on the edges.
- Bake at High Heat: This helps develop a golden, crispy crust.
