• ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
• Salt and black pepper, to taste
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Grease a large baking dish or sheet with olive oil or non-stick spray.

Step 2: Prepare the Potatoes
In a large mixing bowl, toss the halved potatoes with the olive oil, ensuring they’re well-coated.

Step 3: Add the Seasoning
In a small bowl, mix the Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper.
Sprinkle this mixture over the potatoes and toss to coat evenly.

Step 4: Arrange and Bake

1. Place the potatoes cut-side down in the prepared baking dish, leaving space between them.
2. Bake for 35–40 minutes, or until the potatoes are golden brown and fork-tender.

Step 5: Serve
Remove the potatoes from the oven and let them cool slightly.
Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and serve warm.

How They Taste

Kitchen Tips

• Even Cooking: Make sure the potatoes are roughly the same size so they cook evenly.
• Variations: Try adding a pinch of paprika or chili flakes for a spicier kick.
• Meal Prep: You can prepare the potatoes ahead by tossing them with oil and seasonings. Simply pop them in the oven when you’re ready to bake.
• Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
