Instructions
Step 1: Prep the Potatoes
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Wash and thoroughly dry your potatoes. Peeling is optional; the skins add flavor and texture!
Step 2: Cut & Toss
Cut potatoes into bite-sized pieces (even sizes for even cooking!). Toss them in a large bowl.
Step 3: Seasoning Magic
In a small bowl, combine Parmesan, 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 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!
Let them cool slightly, then transfer to a serving dish. Sprinkle with extra Parmesan for an extra cheesy touch. Serve hot!
Keto & Low-Carb Options
For a keto or low-carb twist, 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 potato pieces are key for even cooking.
- Flip halfway through baking for extra crispiness.
- Experiment with your favorite herbs and spices!
- Serve with a dipping sauce like sour cream or ranch.
