Ingredients

1.5 lb Baby potatoes ~ 20-24 no., washed, halved
2 tablespoons Olive oil
50 grams (1.75 oz) Vegetarian parmesan cheese Freshly grated, or sand-like, pre-grated parmesan cheese
½ teaspoon Garlic powder
½ teaspoon Onion powder
¼ teaspoon Paprika
1 teaspoon Dried oregano
½ teaspoon Salt
1 teaspoon Black pepper powder

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Mix the grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, oregano, salt, and black pepper in a bowl.
Take a 9x13-inch glass pan and add the olive oil. Swirl it around to ensure the bottom is evenly coated with the oil.
Evenly sprinkle the prepared cheese mixture over the oil-coated pan.
Place the halved baby potatoes, cut side down, in a single layer on top of the cheese mixture.
Sprinkle a pinch of salt over the potatoes.
Pop the pan into the preheated oven and let the magic happen. Bake for about 40 minutes or until the potatoes are fork-tender and the Parmesan cheese takes on a deep golden color.
Once out of the oven, let the dish cool down for 5-7 minutes. The cheese will crisp up beautifully during this time, adding that satisfying crunch.
To serve, use a fish spatula to cut through the crispy cheese and scoop 4-6 potatoes at a time.

Notes

Using a glass pan is a smart choice. It allows you to keep an eye on the bottom of your potatoes and cheese as they bake. You'll know they're ready when the cheese develops that perfect deep golden color.
Oven temperatures can vary, so keep an eye on your potatoes as they bake. If you prefer a slightly crispier crust, you can extend the baking time slightly.
