Instructions
- Scrub baby potatoes clean and cut larger ones in half or quarters. Boil in salted water for 8–10 minutes until fork-tender. Drain and let steam dry.
- In a shallow bowl, mix Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, thyme, rosemary, salt, pepper, and optional spices.
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Toss par-boiled potatoes with olive oil until coated.
- Add the Parmesan mixture and toss to coat evenly.
- Spread potatoes on the baking sheet in a single layer and bake for 20–25 minutes until golden brown. Flip halfway through for even crispiness.
- Optional: Broil for an additional minute for extra crunch.
- Let cool slightly before serving; garnish with chopped parsley.
