Creating these incredible Parmesan Crusted Potatoes is straightforward. Just follow these 7 easy steps:

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). This ensures your potatoes cook evenly.

2. Prepare the Potatoes: Wash the baby potatoes thoroughly. If you’re using larger potatoes, cut them into equal-sized pieces for even cooking.

3. Boil the Potatoes: Place the potatoes in a pot of salted water and bring it to a boil. Cook for about 10-15 minutes until fork-tender but not mushy. Drain and let them cool slightly.

4. Combine Coating Ingredients: In a large bowl, mix together the grated Parmesan cheese, breadcrumbs, minced garlic, salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and fresh parsley if using.

5. Coat the Potatoes: Add the slightly cooled potatoes to the bowl. Drizzle with olive oil and toss until they are well coated with the mixture.

6. Arrange for Baking: Spread the coated potatoes evenly on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Ensure they are spaced out to get that crispy texture.

7. Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes or until the potatoes are golden brown and crispy.
