Ingredients
  

2 pounds baby potatoes (or small Yukon Gold potatoes)

1/4 cup olive oil

1 cup grated Parmesan cheese

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

1 teaspoon dried oregano

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

1 teaspoon salt (or to taste)

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 425°F (220°C). This high heat is essential for achieving that crispy exterior.

    Prepare the Potatoes: Rinse the baby potatoes under cold water and dry them thoroughly. Cut each potato in half or quarters, depending on size. Aim for uniform pieces to ensure even cooking.

      Season the Potatoes: In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, dried oregano, black pepper, and salt. Add the potatoes to the bowl and toss until they are well-coated with the oil and seasoning mixture.

        Add the Cheese: Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the seasoned potatoes and toss again to ensure an even distribution. The cheese will form a delicious crust while roasting.

          Arrange on Baking Sheet: Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or foil for easy cleanup. Spread the potatoes out in a single layer, cut side down, ensuring they are not overcrowded. This helps them get crispy.

            Roast the Potatoes: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast the potatoes for about 25-30 minutes. Flip them halfway through the cooking time to ensure they are golden and crispy on all sides. Keep an eye on them, as oven temperatures can vary.

              Check for Doneness: The potatoes are ready when they are tender inside and have a gorgeous golden-brown, crispy exterior. You can use a fork to test the tenderness.

                Garnish and Serve: Remove the potatoes from the oven and let them cool for a minute. Transfer them to a serving platter, sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley for a pop of color, and enjoy!
