Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup finely grated Parmesan cheese with a sand consistency
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 3/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 1/2 lbs baby potatoes, halved (approximately 20-22 potatoes)

For Dipping (optional):

  • Sour cream or Greek yogurt (or a half-and-half mixture)
  • Chopped scallions or chives

Directions

  3. Toss the halved potatoes with olive oil until evenly coated. Add the Parmesan mixture and toss until the potatoes are well coated.
  4. Arrange the potatoes, cut side down, on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are not touching.

  6. Serve hot, garnished with chopped scallions or chives, with sour cream or Greek yogurt on the side for dipping.

Cook Notes

For an extra crispy texture, consider broiling the potatoes for the last 2-3 minutes of cooking time, watching carefully to prevent burning.
