Ingredients
  

2 pounds baby potatoes, halved

1/4 cup olive oil

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

1 teaspoon dried Italian herbs (oregano, basil, thyme)

Salt and pepper to taste

1 cup grated Parmesan cheese

2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional, for a kick)

Instructions
 

Preheat Your Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.

    Prepare the Potatoes: In a large bowl, combine the halved baby potatoes with the olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, dried Italian herbs, salt, and pepper. Toss everything together until the potatoes are evenly coated.

      Bake the Potatoes: Spread the coated potatoes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, cut side down for maximum crispiness. Bake in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crisp.

        Add the Parmesan: Remove the baking sheet from the oven and sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese evenly over the potatoes. Return to the oven and bake for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

          Finish and Serve: Once the cheese is golden and the potatoes are crispy, remove them from the oven. Allow to cool for a few minutes, then sprinkle with chopped parsley and red pepper flakes if you're using them.

            Plate Up: Serve these crispy Parmesan potatoes as a side dish or paired with your favorite protein for a delightful dinner.
