Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds baby potatoes
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 2 teaspoons garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.
Wash the baby potatoes thoroughly and pat them dry. Cut any larger potatoes in half to ensure even cooking, leaving small ones whole.
In a large mixing bowl, combine olive oil, paprika, cayenne pepper, ground black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, chili powder, dried oregano, and salt. Stir well to form a seasoning mixture.
Add the potatoes to the bowl and toss until all pieces are evenly coated with the seasoned oil blend.
Spread the seasoned potatoes out in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Ensure they are not overcrowded to promote even roasting.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for 35-40 minutes, flipping the potatoes halfway through to ensure even browning. Check for doneness by piercing a potato with a fork—it should glide in easily.
Optional: Remove the roasted potatoes from the oven and immediately sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese while still hot, allowing it to melt slightly.
Transfer the potatoes to a serving dish and garnish with freshly chopped parsley.
Serve hot and enjoy the bold, aromatic flavors that might just make you sneeze!
