Ingredients

Scale

Potatoes

  • 1 ½ lbs baby potatoes, halved

Coating

  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese (freshly grated for best crispiness)
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • ½ tsp smoked paprika
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ¼ tsp black pepper

Garnish

  • Fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions

  1. Prepare Potatoes: Start by washing and halving the baby potatoes to ensure even cooking and maximum surface area to create a crispy crust.
  2. Mix Coating: In a large bowl, toss the halved potatoes with olive oil, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper, making sure each piece is well coated by pressing firmly into the Parmesan mixture to create a crust.
  3. Arrange on Baking Sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and arrange the potatoes cut-side down in a single layer to maximize crispiness on the flat surfaces.
  4. Bake: Place the baking sheet in a preheated oven at 425°F (220°C) and bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the bottoms are golden brown and crispy.
  5. Cool and Serve: Allow the potatoes to cool for 3 minutes on the baking sheet before lifting them off gently to preserve the Parmesan crust. Transfer to a serving platter and garnish with fresh parsley. Serve warm with optional dips like ranch, garlic aioli, or marinara.

Notes

  • Press potatoes firmly into the Parmesan mixture to ensure a maximum crispy crust.
  • Add chili flakes to the coating mixture for a spicy variation.
  • Serve these bites with complementary dips such as ranch dressing, garlic aioli, or marinara sauce for enhanced flavor.
