Directions:
Preparation: Begin by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Mix Dry Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine the Parmesan cheese, panko breadcrumbs, and the spices (from garlic powder to black pepper). Ensure they are mixed well.
Prepare the Baking Dish: Drizzle and spread a thin, even layer of olive oil across the bottom of a 9×13-inch baking dish.
Layer Cheese Mixture: Evenly spread the cheese and breadcrumb mixture over the base of the baking dish. Be cautious to avoid creating any clumps.
Potatoes: After washing the baby potatoes, cut them in half. Lay them with the flat side facing down over the cheese mixture in the baking dish.
Bake: Pop the dish into the oven and bake for about 30-40 minutes. The exact time might vary depending on the size of the potatoes. You’ll know they’re ready when the cheese has attained a golden-brown hue and the potatoes are tender—test by piercing with a fork.
Garnish and Serve: Once out of the oven, sprinkle some fresh parsley over the top for added color and freshness.
Pro Tip: Elevate the dish by serving with your go-to dipping sauce. Whether it’s a simple aioli, tangy barbecue sauce, or spicy sriracha mayo, these potatoes make for an excellent side dish or appetizer.
Enjoy!
