Ingredients:
- 40 grams Parmesan cheese, grated
- 50 grams breadcrumbs
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- Black pepper, to taste
- 3 potatoes, peeled and diced
- Salt, to taste
- Olive oil
Instructions:
1. Prepare the Potatoes:
- Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).
- Peel and dice the potatoes into bite-sized cubes. Rinse them under cold water to remove excess starch, then pat dry with a towel.
2. Mix the Coating:
- In a large bowl, combine the grated Parmesan cheese, breadcrumbs, paprika, black pepper, and a pinch of salt.
3. Coat the Potatoes:
- Drizzle the diced potatoes with a generous amount of olive oil and toss until evenly coated.
- Add the potatoes to the Parmesan and breadcrumb mixture, making sure each piece is well coated.
4. Bake the Potatoes:
- Prepare a baking sheet by either lining it with parchment paper or brushing it lightly with olive oil.
- Spread the coated potatoes in a single layer on the baking sheet, ensuring they don’t overlap for even crisping.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, flipping the potatoes halfway through to ensure they brown evenly on all sides.
5. Serve:
- Once the potatoes are crispy and golden, remove them from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes.
- Serve as a delicious side dish with your favorite main course or enjoy them as a tasty snack!
