Ingredients

3 pounds baby red potatoes cleaned and halved
3 tablespoons olive oil
Salt and pepper to taste
⅓-½ cup grated Parmesan cheese + extra for topping if desired
2 tablespoons Italian breadcrumbs
1½ teaspoons garlic powder

Instructions

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
Place potatoes on a large baking sheet and toss with the olive oil, salt and pepper. Sprinkle with cheese, breadcrumbs and garlic powder and toss gently to combine. Spread in an even layer and bake for 25 minutes or until golden brown. Stir potatoes halfway through cooking. Top with more cheese after removing from oven if desired.

Notes

Use real parmesan cheese for the best flavor. You can buy a block and shred it yourself or buy it grated in the refrigerated section of the store. I don't suggest using the powdered kind.
Make sure you have a HOT oven. If the oven isn't hot enough, the potatoes will overcook on the inside without crisping on the outside.
Make sure to spread the potatoes in an even layer without overcrowding the pan. The potatoes shouldn't be touching if possible. If they are all touching, the potatoes will steam instead of getting crispy.
