Ingredients
  

1.5 pounds baby potatoes, halved

1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

1/2 cup breadcrumbs (panko for extra crunch)

3 tablespoons olive oil

2 teaspoons garlic powder

1 teaspoon dried Italian herbs (oregano, basil, thyme)

1/2 teaspoon paprika

Salt and pepper, to taste

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.

    Boil the Potatoes: In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Add the halved baby potatoes and cook for about 10-12 minutes, or until they are just fork-tender. Drain the potatoes and let them cool for a few minutes.

      Prepare the Coating: In a large mixing bowl, combine the grated Parmesan cheese, breadcrumbs, garlic powder, dried Italian herbs, paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix well until all the dry ingredients are evenly combined.

        Coat the Potatoes: Drizzle the olive oil over the warm potatoes and toss until they are well coated. Then, take each potato half and dip it into the Parmesan-breadcrumb mixture, ensuring that the cut side gets a healthy coating.

          Bake the Potatoes: Place the coated potatoes cut side up on the prepared baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy on the outside.

            Serve: Once the potatoes are out of the oven, let them cool for a couple of minutes. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley before serving to add a pop of color and freshness.
