Instructions
Step 1: Prep the Potatoes
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Wash and thoroughly dry the potatoes. Peeling is optional – the skin adds flavor!
Step 2: Cut & Dice
Cut potatoes into small, even-sized pieces for even cooking. Toss them in a large bowl.
Step 3: Seasoning Magic
In a small bowl, combine Parmesan cheese, olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix well. Pour over the potatoes and toss gently to coat.
Step 4: Bake to Perfection
Spread 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 & Enjoy!
Remove from oven, let cool slightly, then transfer to a serving dish. Sprinkle with extra Parmesan for an extra cheesy kick! Serve hot.
Keto & Low-Carb Options
For a keto or low-carb version, substitute cauliflower florets or turnips for the potatoes. Adjust cooking time as needed – cauliflower and turnips cook faster.
Tips for Extra Crispy Potatoes
- Evenly sized pieces are key for even cooking.
- Flip halfway through for extra crispiness.
- Experiment with your favorite herbs and spices!
- Serve with a dipping sauce like sour cream or ranch.
