Ingredients
Scale
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 pounds baby potatoes
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, finely chopped
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 425°F (220°C) to ensure it reaches the right temperature for roasting the potatoes to a perfect crisp.
- Prepare the potatoes: Wash and dry the baby potatoes thoroughly. If any potatoes are large, cut them in half to promote even cooking.
- Toss with seasonings: In a large bowl, combine the potatoes with olive oil, garlic powder, minced garlic, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Toss until every potato is evenly coated with the flavorful mixture.
- Arrange for roasting: Spread the seasoned potatoes out in a single layer on a baking sheet to ensure even roasting and maximum crispiness.
- Roast the potatoes: Place the baking sheet in the oven and roast for 30 to 35 minutes. Flip the potatoes halfway through cooking to allow all sides to brown evenly and achieve a crispy exterior.
- Add finishing touches: Remove the potatoes from the oven and immediately sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese and fresh parsley to add a burst of flavor and color.
- Serve hot: Serve the garlic potato pops while warm for the best texture and taste, optionally with sour cream or garlic aioli for dipping.
Notes
- For extra crispiness, gently smash the potatoes halfway through roasting and return them to the oven.
- These potato pops pair wonderfully with sour cream or garlic aioli as dipping sauces.
