Ingredients
- 3 pounds small red potatoes
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- ½ teaspoon salt or to taste
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper or to taste
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
- 1 cup Parmesan cheese freshly grated
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley chopped
Instructions
- Start by preheating your oven to 400℉ (200℃).
- Wash the potatoes thoroughly and pat dry. Cut the potatoes in half and set them aside.
- In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, and half of the Parmesan cheese.
- Add the potatoes and toss until they're well coated in the seasoning.
- Transfer the potatoes to a large baking sheet, spreading them out in a single layer. Ensure that each potato is cut-side down for maximum crispiness. Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for about 25-30 minutes, or until the potatoes are golden brown and crispy.
- Remove the baking sheet from the oven, and sprinkle the remaining Parmesan cheese over the potatoes. Return the baking sheet to the oven for another 5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and golden.
- Remove the potatoes from the oven, sprinkle with the fresh chopped parsley, and serve warm.

Notes
- Freshly grated Parmesan only. The bagged kind has anti-caking agents that stop it from melting properly.
- Cut-side down. That’s the surface that gets crispy, so make sure it’s in full contact with the tray.
- Don’t crowd the tray. Steam = soggy potatoes. Give them breathing room.
- Preheat the tray. If you want to go next level crunchy, slide the tray in while the oven heats, then add the potatoes to the hot surface.
- Serve immediately. Like all crispy things, they’re at their best fresh out of the oven.
