- 1 teaspoon dried Italian herbs (or dried oregano)
- 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese, plus extra for garnish
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1: Prep the Ingredients
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil for easy cleanup.
Step 2: Season Potatoes
In a large mixing bowl, combine the halved baby potatoes, olive oil, minced garlic, salt, black pepper, and dried Italian herbs. Toss everything together until the potatoes are evenly coated.
Step 3: Add Parmesan
Sprinkle in the grated parmesan cheese and toss again until all the pieces are coated with cheesy goodness.
Step 4: Arrange and Bake
Spread the potatoes cut side down on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer. Bake for 25–30 minutes, flipping halfway, until the potatoes are golden brown and crispy on the edges.
Step 5: Garnish and Serve
Remove the potatoes from the oven. Sprinkle with extra parmesan and fresh parsley before serving for a burst of color and flavor.
Notes
- For maximum crispiness, place potatoes cut side down on the baking sheet.

- You can use mini Yukon Gold or red potatoes for best flavor and texture.
Variations
- Spicy Kick: Add 1/2 teaspoon of crushed red pepper flakes with the seasonings.
