Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb baby potatoes
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1 tsp dried rosemary
- 1 tsp salt
- 0.5 tsp pepper
- 2 tbsp parmesan cheese (optional, grated)
- 1 tbsp parsley (optional, chopped for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Wash and scrub the baby potatoes thoroughly, then dry them with a paper towel.
If the potatoes are large, cut them in half. Otherwise, leave them whole for uniform cooking.
In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, dried rosemary, salt, and pepper.
Add the potatoes to the bowl and toss them until they are evenly coated with the seasoning mixture.
Arrange the potatoes on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer, ensuring they are not overcrowded.
Roast the potatoes in the preheated oven for 25 minutes.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and gently press down on each potato using a fork or the back of a spoon to flatten them slightly. This will help them become extra crispy.
Return the baking sheet to the oven and roast for an additional 10 minutes, or until the potatoes are golden brown and crispy.
If desired, sprinkle the grated parmesan cheese over the potatoes in the last 2 minutes of baking to allow it to melt.
Remove the potatoes from the oven and garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
Serve warm and enjoy your crunchy baby potatoes as a side dish or snack!
