Creating crispy and flavorful Parmesan Crusted Potatoes is simple. Just follow these easy steps:

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). This high temperature will help achieve that crunchy exterior.
2. Prepare the Potatoes: Wash and dry the baby potatoes thoroughly. Cut them in half or quarters for even cooking.
3. Season the Potatoes: In a large bowl, combine the halved potatoes with olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika. Toss well until evenly coated.
4. Add Parmesan: Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the seasoned potatoes. Toss again to ensure every piece is well-covered.
5. Arrange on Baking Sheet: Place the coated potatoes cut-side down on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
6. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes or until the potatoes are golden and crispy. Flip them halfway through for even cooking.
7. Check for Doneness: A fork should easily pierce the potatoes when they’re done.
8. Garnish: Remove from the oven and let sit for a couple of minutes. Garnish with fresh parsley or chives, if desired.
9. Serve Immediately: It’s best to serve these delicious potatoes immediately while they are still hot and crispy.

By following these steps, you’ll unlock the amazing flavors and textures of this dish, turning your everyday potatoes into a gourmet experience.
