Start by washing and drying the baby potatoes thoroughly. Peel them if desired, but leaving the skin on adds a delightful texture.
Cut the potatoes into halves or quarters depending on their size to ensure even cooking.
Heat the olive oil in a large, non-stick skillet over medium heat until it shimmers. This will take about 1-2 minutes.
Add the potatoes to the skillet in a single layer, ensuring each piece makes contact with the skillet's surface. Avoid overcrowding to promote even browning.
Sprinkle the garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and dried rosemary over the potatoes.
Let the potatoes cook without stirring for about 5 minutes to develop a golden crust. Stirring too soon or too often may prevent them from browning.
Once the potatoes are browned on one side, flip them using a spatula or tongs and reduce the heat to medium-low.
Continue cooking, stirring occasionally, for another 10-15 minutes or until the potatoes are tender and golden brown on all sides.
Taste and adjust the seasonings, adding more black pepper if desired.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley for a burst of color and flavor.
Serve immediately while hot and crispy.
