Ingredients
- 1.5 pounds baby potatoes or Yukon gold potatoes, halved
- 2 tablespoons olive oil or melted butter
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder (optional)
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- Fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or grease a baking dish.
- In a small bowl, mix Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder (if using), salt, and pepper.
- Drizzle 1 tablespoon of olive oil or melted butter onto the pan and evenly sprinkle the Parmesan mixture over it.
- Place halved potatoes cut-side down onto the cheese mixture, pressing gently to adhere.
- Brush the tops of the potatoes with the remaining oil or butter and season with salt and pepper.
- Roast for 25–30 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender and the bottoms are crispy and golden.
- Let cool for 5 minutes, then gently lift with a spatula. Garnish with chopped parsley if desired and serve hot.
Notes
- For extra flavor, add Italian seasoning or smoked paprika to the Parmesan mix.
- Pair with dipping sauces like ranch, garlic aioli, or sour cream.
- Use finely grated Parmesan for the best crust texture.
