Baked Parmesan Potato Bites

Directions:

1. Preheat Oven:
   • Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Toss Potatoes:
   • In a large bowl, toss the diced potatoes with olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
3. Bake:
   • Spread the potatoes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
   • Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.
4. Add Cheese:
   • Remove the baking sheet from the oven and sprinkle the Parmesan cheese over the potatoes.
   • Return to the oven and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the potatoes are golden and crispy.
5. Serve:
   • Sprinkle with fresh parsley before serving, if desired.

Variations & Tips:

• For a spicy kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the seasoning mix.
• Experiment with different cheeses like cheddar or mozzarella for a different flavor profile.
• Use pre-cooked potatoes or frozen diced potatoes to cut down on prep time.
• For a vegan version, substitute nutritional yeast for the Parmesan cheese.

These potato bites pair wonderfully with a fresh green salad or steamed vegetables for a balanced meal. They also make a fantastic appetizer alongside a tangy dipping sauce like ranch or a spicy aioli. Enjoy! 🥔🧀😊
