Ingredients
  

1.5 lbs baby potatoes, halved

1 cup grated Parmesan cheese

1/2 cup bread crumbs (preferably panko for extra crunch)

3 tablespoons olive oil

2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

1/2 teaspoon paprika

Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
 

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).

    In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil and add the halved baby potatoes. Cook for about 10-15 minutes, or until just fork-tender; do not overcook. Drain and let cool for a few minutes.

      In a bowl, mix together the grated Parmesan, bread crumbs, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.

        In another bowl, drizzle the olive oil over the cooked potatoes and toss them to ensure they are well-coated.

          Next, roll each potato half in the Parmesan-breadcrumb mixture until well coated.

            Place the coated potato halves on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, ensuring they have space between them.

              Sprinkle the remaining breadcrumb mixture over the potatoes for extra crunch.

                Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and crispy.

                  Remove from the oven and immediately sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley for color and flavor.
