Ingredients
1.5 lbs red potatoes, halved or quartered
2 tbsp olive oil
1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp onion powder
1/2 tsp paprika (optional)
1 tsp dried parsley or Italian seasoning
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil.
Wash and cut the red potatoes into halves or quarters, depending on size, and pat dry.
In a large bowl, toss potatoes with olive oil, Parmesan, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika (if using), dried herbs, salt, and pepper until well coated.
Spread the potatoes out in a single layer, cut-side down, on the prepared baking sheet.
Roast for 30–35 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy on the edges.
Let cool for a few minutes before serving, and garnish with fresh parsley if desired.
Notes
Add crushed red pepper flakes for heat.
Swap Parmesan for Asiago or Pecorino Romano.
Add fresh rosemary or thyme for extra flavor.
Mix in breadcrumbs for added crunch.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
Reheat in oven or air fryer at 375°F for best texture.
