Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (200 degrees Celsius).
Wash the red potatoes thoroughly and pat them dry with a clean towel.
Cut the potatoes into quarters. If they are particularly small, you can halve them.
Place the cut potatoes in a large bowl. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with garlic powder, dried rosemary, salt, and black pepper.
Toss the potatoes in the bowl until they are evenly coated with the oil and seasoning mixture.
Spread the seasoned potatoes in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat for easy cleanup.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the potatoes are golden brown and crisp on the edges. Flip them halfway through for even cooking.
Remove the potatoes from the oven. Allow them to cool for a few minutes before sprinkling with freshly chopped parsley.
Serve the potatoes hot as a side dish with your favorite main course.
