Ingredients
 

Main Ingredients

  • 2 lb baby gold potatoes halved or quartered if large
  • 2.5 tbsp olive oil
  • 0.75 cup Parmesan cheese, finely grated for tossing
  • 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese, finely grated for finishing
  • 1.25 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • 1 tsp kosher salt to taste
  • 0.5 tsp black pepper freshly ground
  • 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped for garnish
  • 0.25 tsp red pepper flakes optional, for heat

Instructions

Preparation Steps

  • Preheat oven to 425°F. Line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment for easy cleanup.
  • Cut potatoes into halves or quarters for even pieces. Pat dry to remove surface moisture.
  • Toss potatoes with olive oil in a large bowl until lightly coated.
  • Add 3/4 cup Parmesan, garlic powder, paprika, Italian seasoning, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes if using. Stir to coat well.
  • Spread potatoes on the sheet pan, cut sides down and spaced out for browning.
  • Roast for 20 minutes. Flip potatoes and continue roasting until crisp and golden, 12–15 minutes more.
  • Sprinkle with remaining Parmesan and parsley. Toss briefly and serve hot.

Notes

Variation: Swap Italian seasoning for dried thyme and a pinch of lemon zest. For extra crunch, add 1 tbsp fine breadcrumbs with the Parmesan. Leftovers reheat well in a 400°F oven for 8–10 minutes, or air-fry until crisp.
