Ingredients
Mini or baby potatoes (Yukon Gold or similar), halved or quartered
Butter or olive oil, melted
Freshly grated Parmesan cheese
Garlic powder or minced garlic
Italian seasoning or herb blend
Kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
Optional: cayenne or paprika (for heat), chopped fresh parsley (for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat oven to 425 °F (220 °C). Line a baking sheet with parchment or lightly grease it.
Wash and cut baby potatoes in halves or quarters for uniform size. Pat dry thoroughly.
In a large bowl, mix melted butter or olive oil with Parmesan, garlic, seasoning, salt, and pepper to create a paste.
Toss potato pieces in the mixture until well coated.
Arrange potatoes cut-side down in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake for 25–45 minutes, or until fork-tender and golden brown. Flip halfway through for even crisping, if desired.
Let cool for 5 minutes, garnish with parsley, and serve hot.
Notes
Crispiness Tip: Dry potatoes thoroughly and place them cut-side down on the baking sheet for best crust.
Cheese Swap: Use Pecorino Romano for a sharper, saltier flavor.
Spice It Up: Add cayenne or paprika to the cheese blend for a touch of heat.
Extra Crunch: Finish under the broiler for 1–2 minutes.
Serving Ideas: Pair with dips like sour cream, aioli, or ranch.
Storage: Store in an airtight container in the fridge for 3–4 days.
