Ingredients
  

2 lbs small Yukon Gold potatoes, halved (or quartered if large)

4 tablespoons olive oil

4 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon fresh rosemary, chopped

1 teaspoon fresh thyme, chopped

½ teaspoon smoked paprika

½ teaspoon salt (adjust to taste)

¼ teaspoon black pepper

½ cup grated Parmesan cheese

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Lemon wedges (for serving)

Instructions
 

Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.

    Prepare Potatoes: In a large bowl, combine the halved potatoes, olive oil, minced garlic, rosemary, thyme, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Toss well until all the potatoes are evenly coated with the mixture.

      Spread on Baking Sheet: Spread the seasoned potatoes out in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, cut side down for maximum crispiness.

        Roast Potatoes: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for 25-30 minutes. Halfway through cooking, give the potatoes a good shake to ensure even browning.

          Add Cheese: Once the potatoes are golden brown and crispy, remove them from the oven. Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese evenly over the potatoes.

            Final Bake: Return the baking sheet to the oven and bake for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

              Garnish and Serve: Remove the potatoes from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve with lemon wedges on the side for an extra zing.
