Instructions
Step 1: Prep the Potatoes
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Wash and thoroughly dry the potatoes. Peeling is optional, but the skin adds great flavor and texture.
Step 2: Cut the Potatoes
Cut the potatoes into small, even-sized pieces for consistent cooking. Toss them in a large bowl.
Step 3: Season and Toss
In a small bowl, combine Parmesan cheese, olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix well and pour over the potatoes, tossing gently to coat.
Step 4: Bake to Perfection
Spread the potatoes in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Don’t overcrowd! Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.
Step 5: Serve and Enjoy!
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly. Transfer to a serving dish, sprinkle with extra Parmesan, and serve hot.
Keto and Low-Carb Variations
For a keto or low-carb option, substitute cauliflower florets or turnips for the potatoes. Follow the same seasoning and baking steps, adjusting cooking time as needed (cauliflower and turnips cook faster).
Tips for Extra Crispy Potatoes
- Evenly sized potato pieces ensure even cooking.
- For extra crispiness, flip the potatoes halfway through baking.
- Experiment with your favorite herbs and spices!
- Serve with a dipping sauce like sour cream or ranch.
