Ingredients
1.5 pounds red potatoes, halved or sliced
1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
2 tablespoons chopped chives or parsley
Sour cream or Greek yogurt for serving
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
2. Wash and dry the red potatoes thoroughly. Slice into 1/4-inch rounds or halve if using small ones.
3. In a mixing bowl, toss potatoes with olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper.
4. Sprinkle Parmesan cheese directly on the lined baking sheet where you’ll place the potatoes.
5. Arrange potatoes cut-side down over the cheese and press them slightly to help the crust form.
6. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, until bottoms are crispy and tops are fork-tender.
7. Let rest for 5 minutes before removing from the tray to allow the cheese crust to set.
8. Garnish with fresh herbs and serve warm with sour cream or Greek yogurt.
Notes
Use freshly grated Parmesan for the crispiest and most flavorful results.
Don’t overcrowd the baking sheet—give potatoes space to crisp up.
Make sure the potatoes are dry before roasting to avoid steaming.
