Can I make these ahead of time?

Yes! You can prep the potatoes and seasoning ahead of time. When you’re ready to serve, just toss everything together and bake fresh.

Can I use a different cheese?

Absolutely. Pecorino Romano adds a sharper flavor, or try Asiago for something milder but still cheesy and crisp.

How do I store leftovers?

If you somehow have leftovers (lucky you), store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in an air fryer or oven to bring back that crispy magic.

Can I make these in an air fryer?

Yes! Air fry at 400°F for about 15–18 minutes , shaking halfway through. They turn out just as crispy — maybe even more so.

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Wash and dry the baby potatoes thoroughly, then cut them in half lengthwise.
Season and coat: Drizzle olive oil over the potatoes and toss to coat evenly.
In a separate bowl, combine Parmesan, garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, paprika, salt, and pepper. Sprinkle the mix over the potatoes and toss until coated.
Bake: Arrange potatoes cut-side down on the baking sheet. Bake for 25–30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and crispy.
Garnish and serve: Let cool slightly, then sprinkle with chopped parsley and enjoy warm!

Notes

For maximum crispiness, make sure potatoes are completely dry before seasoning.
Freshly grated Parmesan melts better and gives a richer flavor.
Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or air fryer to crisp back up.
