Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1.5 pounds baby red potatoes, halved
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon Kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 4 tablespoons butter
  • 4 ounces (about 2 cups) finely shredded or grated Parmesan cheese
  • sliced chives + sour cream for serving

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees.

  2. In a large bowl combine olive oil, garlic powder, paprikaItalian seasoning, salt, onion powder, and pepper. Add halved potatoes and toss until evenly coated. 

  3. Add butter to a 9×13 white baking dish or 9×13 baking sheet. Pop it in the oven for a couple minutes until the butter melts.
  4. Add the Parmesan cheese to the pan and stir until well combined. Spread in an even layer. 
  5. Place the halved potatoes cut-side down on top of the Parmesan mixture. Press them down lightly so they make good contact with the butter and cheese.
  6. Bake for 30–35 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender and the bottoms are golden and crispy.

  7. Let the potatoes rest for 10 minutes after baking to help the parmesan crust set. Use a spatula to carefully lift them from the pan. Serve with a mixture of sour cream and fresh chives and serve hot.

Notes

  • Make sure the Parmesan is finely grated so it forms a smooth, even layer of crust.
  • Don’t skip letting the potatoes rest! It helps the cheesy layer stick and makes them perfectly crisp.
  • For extra flavor, sprinkle with fresh herbs like parsley, cilantro, dill, or basil before serving.
