Preheat your oven to 200Β°C (400Β°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Wash the baby potatoes thoroughly under cold water and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel. If the potatoes are larger than bite-sized, cut them in half or quarters to ensure even baking.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to create a flavorful marinade.
Add the potatoes to the bowl and toss them until they are evenly coated in the marinade.
Sprinkle the sesame seeds over the potatoes and toss again to ensure the sesame seeds adhere to the surface.
Spread the potatoes out in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, making sure they are not overcrowded.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, turning the potatoes halfway through cooking to ensure even browning. The potatoes are ready when they are golden brown and crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.
Remove the potatoes from the oven and let them cool for a minute before transferring them to a serving plate.
Optionally, garnish with freshly chopped parsley for an added burst of color and freshness.
Serve warm as a side dish or enjoy on their own as a snack!
