A delightful twist on roasted potatoes, these crispy herb and cheese potato bites are perfect for any occasion.
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Preheating ensures even cooking and crispiness.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with oil.
Using parchment paper prevents sticking and makes cleanup easier.
Cut the potatoes into bite-sized cubes.
Try to cut the potatoes uniformly for even cooking.
In a mixing bowl, toss the potato cubes with olive oil until evenly coated.
Ensure all pieces are well-coated for better seasoning adherence.
In a small bowl, mix the parmesan cheese, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, black pepper, cayenne pepper, and parsley.
Combine the ingredients thoroughly to ensure an even flavor distribution.
Add the seasoning mix to the potatoes and toss until evenly coated.
Toss gently to avoid breaking the potato pieces.
Spread the seasoned potatoes on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer.
Spacing the potatoes out ensures they roast rather than steam.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and crispy.
Check for doneness by piercing with a fork; they should be tender inside.
Serve the crispy herb and cheese potato bites warm, garnished with extra parsley if desired.
Serve immediately for the best texture and flavor.
