I have made this recipe a gazillion times, and it’s always a hit! » Potatoes – the star ingredient. I have used baby potatoes. They are rinsed and cut in halves. » Garlic – adds a deep rich flavor and takes this dish to a whole new level. I have used fresh garlic here but feel free to swap it with dried garlic powder. » Parsley – adds tons of fresh flavors and color. » Parmesan cheese – lends a subtle cheesy and crispy flair. » Olive Oil – adds a beautiful flavor. Cab be substituted for avocado oil or any neutral-tasting oil. » Seasonings – Kept it simple with just the basic – salt, pepper, and chili flakes. 2. Get the potatoes ready – Rinse and clean the potatoes thoroughly. Pat them dry and cut them into halves. 3. Dressing- Combine olive oil, salt, pepper, red chili flakes, parsley, garlic, and cheese in a bowl. Mix it well. Add the potatoes to this mix and toss until fully coated. 4. Bake – Transfer the potatoes onto the greased baking tray in a single layer. Do not crowd them as they will become mushy. Bake for about 20 minutes until crispy and golden. Remove from oven and serve hot! » Cut all the potatoes into equal size as this will ensure an even cooking time. » To peel or not to peel baby potatoes is entirely up to you: just a note that potato skin adds nutrients and extra crunch. » Ensure all the potato cubes are well coated in the spice mix; therefore, toss it well. » Feel free to line your baking tray with parchment paper or aluminum foil. » After the initial baking time is over, for an extra crispy potato, broil the baby potatoes for 2-3 minutes. Keep a watchful eye as they may burn quickly. 2-3 minutes at the max. » For a healthy option – swap potatoes with sweet potatoes or yam. Peel and cut them into 1-inch cubes and bake. » This is a versatile recipe, so play around with different combinations, spices, herbs and adjust them to suit your own taste. To reheat, spread them on a baking tray and basket for 6-8 minutes at 400°F or until heated through.
