Ingredients

Potatoes

  • 1.5 pounds baby potatoes (golden or red)

Seasoning & Coating

  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Garnish (Optional)

  • Fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to ensure the potatoes bake to a perfect crispy texture.
  2. Prepare the Potatoes: Thoroughly wash and dry the baby potatoes. Cut each potato in half lengthwise, then place them into a large mixing bowl.
  3. Season and Coat: Drizzle the olive oil over the halved potatoes and toss them to coat evenly. In a separate bowl, combine grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, dried oregano, paprika, salt, and pepper. Sprinkle this cheese and spice mixture over the potatoes and toss again until each piece is fully coated, ensuring a flavorful crust.
  4. Bake the Potatoes: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and arrange the coated potatoes cut-side down in a single layer to promote even cooking. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, flipping the potatoes halfway through to achieve golden brown and crispy surfaces all around.
  5. Serve and Garnish: Once baked, let the potatoes rest for a few minutes before transferring them to a serving dish. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley for added color and a fresh flavor note. Serve warm and enjoy!

Notes

  • Use golden or red baby potatoes for best results as they hold their shape well when baked.
  • Adjust spices like paprika, garlic, and oregano to match your flavor preferences or add herbs such as thyme or rosemary for extra aroma.
  • Ensure potatoes are arranged in a single layer to receive even crisping in the oven.
  • Flipping the potatoes halfway through baking is key to achieving a uniform crispy crust.
  • For a gluten-free dish, verify that the Parmesan cheese used is gluten-free certified.
