A delightful twist on classic roasted potatoes, these crispy parmesan potato bites are perfect for any occasion.
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and prepare a baking sheet by lightly greasing it or lining it with parchment paper.
Using parchment paper ensures easy cleanup and prevents sticking.
Wash and dice the potatoes into bite-sized cubes, keeping the pieces uniform for even cooking.
Uniformly sized pieces cook evenly, ensuring a consistent texture.
In a mixing bowl, combine the grated parmesan cheese, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and ground black pepper.
Mix thoroughly to evenly distribute the spices.
Melt the butter and toss the potato cubes in it until well coated.
Ensure all potato pieces are coated for maximum flavor.
Add the parmesan mixture to the potatoes and toss until each piece is evenly coated.
Toss gently to avoid breaking the potato pieces.
Spread the coated potatoes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
A single layer ensures even baking and crispiness.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, then flip the potatoes and bake for an additional 20 minutes until golden and crispy.
Flipping halfway through ensures even browning.
Serve the crispy parmesan potato bites warm as a side dish or snack.
Garnish with fresh herbs like parsley for added flavor and presentation.
