Ingredients

Main Ingredients

2 pounds baby potatoes, halved These small potatoes are tender and cook quickly, but you can substitute with larger ones cut into quarters.
1/2 cup unsalted butter Use unsalted for better control over your seasoning; can swap with olive oil for a healthier option.
1 cup grated Parmesan cheese Freshly grated cheese melts and adheres better; consider using a lower-sodium option.
2 teaspoons garlic powder This adds depth to the flavor; fresh garlic can also be used if preferred.
Salt and pepper to taste Essential for bringing out the flavors.
Fresh parsley for garnish (optional) Brightens up the dish visually and adds a fresh taste.

Method

Preparation

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) for achieving crispy texture.
In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat, ensuring it does not burn.
In a large bowl, combine the halved potatoes, melted butter, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Toss until well coated.
Place the potatoes in a single layer in a baking dish and sprinkle the Parmesan cheese generously on top.

Cooking

Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the potatoes are golden brown and crispy on the outside. They are done when the aroma fills the kitchen.
Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.

Notes

Ensure to preheat the oven for best results and avoid overcrowding the baking dish to prevent soggy potatoes. Feel free to experiment with additional herbs for more flavor.
