Ingredients you’ll need
Here’s what you’ll need-
- 1.5 pounds baby potatoes (can use regular baby potatoes or baby red potatoes)
- 3 tablespoon olive oil
- 5 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
- ½ cup Parmesan (fine grated, “sand” like parmesan is best)
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- ½ teaspoon cayenne
- Salt & pepper to taste
- ¼ cup crispy bacon (crumbled) – optional
- Fresh parsley for garnish
Potatoes: choose any of these potatoes- baby potatoes, baby red potatoes, fingerling potatoes, small Yukon potatoes.
Garlic: using fresh garlic adds fresh garlic flavors. I love garlic, 5 cloves of garlic was perfect for my taste. If you hate garlic, reduce the number of cloves to suit your taste preference. You can substitute fresh garlic with garlic powder as well. Use ½ teaspoon to 1 teaspoon garlic powder.
Parmesan: to get crispy potatoes, use “sand” parmesan cheese that you find in refrigerator section. “sand” like cheese helps crisp potatoes well. Freshly grated parmesan can also be used, make sure they are grated super fine. Regular shredded parmesan does not help crisp up potatoes well.
Bacon(optional, highly recommended): because bacon makes everything better. Crispy potatoes and crispy salty bacon bits are amazing together.
