Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Baby potatoes (or small waxy potatoes)
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Dried thyme
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese (optional, finely grated)
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (optional, chopped)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil for easy cleanup.
Wash the baby potatoes thoroughly and pat them dry. Leave the skins on for added texture and flavor.
Cut any larger potatoes in half so all pieces are roughly the same size for even cooking.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, salt, garlic powder, smoked paprika, dried thyme, and black pepper.
Add the potatoes to the bowl and toss them until they are evenly coated in the oil and seasoning mixture.
Spread the potatoes out onto the prepared baking sheet in a single layer, making sure they are not overcrowded.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, flipping the potatoes halfway through, until they are golden-brown and crispy on the outside while tender on the inside.
Remove the potatoes from the oven and transfer them to a large heatproof container with a tight-fitting lid (a large bowl with a cover works too).
Add the Parmesan cheese (if using) to the container and shake vigorously to evenly coat the potatoes and enhance the seasoning.
Serve immediately, garnished with fresh parsley for a pop of color and freshness. Enjoy your crispy Shaker Potatoes!
