Ingredients
Scale
Potatoes
- 1.5 pounds baby potatoes (golden or red)
Seasoning and 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
- Fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to ensure the potatoes will become crispy during baking.
- Prepare the Potatoes: Wash and dry the baby potatoes thoroughly. Slice each potato in half lengthwise and place them into a large mixing bowl.
- Season and Coat: Drizzle olive oil over the halved potatoes and toss to coat evenly. In a separate bowl, mix 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 they are fully coated.
- Bake the Potatoes: Arrange the coated potatoes cut-side down on a parchment-lined baking sheet, making sure they are spaced out in a single layer. Bake for 25-30 minutes until golden brown and crispy, flipping the potatoes halfway through for even crispiness.
- Serve and Garnish: Allow the potatoes to cool slightly after baking. Transfer them to a serving dish and garnish with chopped fresh parsley if desired. Serve warm and enjoy!
Notes
- Ensure the oven is fully preheated before baking to achieve the best crispiness.
- Do not overcrowd the baking sheet to avoid steaming the potatoes.
- Flip the potatoes halfway through baking for even browning.
- For a dairy-free alternative, substitute Parmesan with nutritional yeast.
- To make the recipe spicier, add red pepper flakes or cayenne pepper to the seasoning mix.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days; reheat in a 350°F oven for 10 minutes to restore crispiness.
