Ingredients You’ll Need

Serves 4–6

For the Potato Bites:

  • 4 medium russet or Yukon Gold potatoes , scrubbed clean
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese (freshly grated works best)
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Preheat the Oven

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) . Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray.

Step 2: Prepare the Potatoes

  1. Cut the potatoes into bite-sized cubes (about 1-inch pieces). Try to keep them evenly sized for consistent cooking.
  2. Place the potato cubes in a large bowl. Drizzle with olive oil and toss to coat evenly.

Step 3: Season the Potatoes

  1. In a small bowl, mix together the Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, paprika, onion powder, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using).
  2. Sprinkle the seasoning mixture over the potatoes and toss until the cubes are evenly coated.

Step 4: Bake

  1. Spread the seasoned potato cubes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each piece for even crisping.
