Ingredients:

  • 2 lbs red potatoes, scrubbed and quartered
  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 3 cloves fresh garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1/2 tsp kosher salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions:

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Cut the red potatoes into uniform quarters and pat them thoroughly dry with paper towels to remove surface moisture.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, combine the dried potatoes with olive oil and melted butter, tossing until every surface is glistening.
  4. Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese, minced garlic, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper over the potatoes.
  5. Toss gently but thoroughly until the cheese and spices form a thin, tacky paste on the surface of the potatoes.
  6. Spread the potatoes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are not touching to allow for proper air circulation.
  7. Bake for 25–30 minutes until the edges are deep golden brown and the cheese is crisp.
  8. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving.
