Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Wash and slice the baby potatoes into 1/4 inch rounds. Pat them dry with a paper towel.
In a mixing bowl, toss the potato slices with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.
Arrange the potato slices on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer and bake for 20 minutes, flipping halfway through, until they are golden brown and crisp.
While the potatoes are baking, dice the Roma tomatoes into small pieces and finely chop the basil leaves. Mince the garlic cloves.
In a bowl, mix the diced tomatoes, chopped basil, minced garlic, 1 tablespoon of olive oil, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Set aside to let the flavors meld.
Once the potatoes are done baking, remove them from the oven and let them cool slightly for 5 minutes.
Top each potato slice with a spoonful of the tomato-basil mixture.
Drizzle balsamic glaze over the assembled bruschetta and sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese, if desired.
Serve warm or at room temperature as an appetizer or a light snack.
