WOULD YOU EAT THESE CRISPY CRUNCHY PARMESAN POTATOES 

Ingredients:

2 lbs baby potatoes or Yukon Gold potatoes, halved or quartered

1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

1/4 cup panko breadcrumbs (for extra crunch)

2 tbsp olive oil

2 tbsp unsalted butter, melted

3 cloves garlic, minced

1 tsp garlic powder

1 tsp onion powder

1 tsp dried thyme (or fresh)

Salt and pepper to taste

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions:

Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.

Prepare the Potatoes:

In a large mixing bowl, toss the halved or quartered potatoes with olive oil, melted butter, minced garlic, garlic powder, onion powder, thyme, salt, and pepper.

Add the Parmesan Coating:

Add the grated Parmesan cheese and panko breadcrumbs to the potatoes, tossing to coat evenly.

Bake the Potatoes:

Spread the potatoes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, cut side down for maximum crispiness. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the potatoes are golden brown and crispy.

Serve:

Remove from the oven and garnish with fresh parsley. Serve hot as a side dish with your favorite meal.

Helpful Tips:

Extra Crispy: For extra crunch, broil the potatoes for the last 2-3 minutes of cooking.

Flavor Boost: Add a pinch of smoked paprika or cayenne pepper for a subtle kick.
